I remember sometime ago there was a debate about whether the two categories (everyday purchases & other purchases) are counted together or separately. I just got approved for the card..I might spend $6000 per year (maybe)
If I spent $6000 (incl. everything) - according to the website i would get 3% back on everyday, 1.5% on other purchases..this is both better than my Chase PerfectCard. The Chase card gives me 3% cash back on gas and 1% on everythign else..but I wouldn't make the $6K on the AMEX if all of my purchases didnt count towards the same total..so which is it?
