Thoughts

The only reason I would get the Amex SimplyCash is if I didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a better a better CPP evaluation than 1.25 CPP, if I didn’t mind the hassle then I would go with the Amex Choice as if the fixed point flight redemption you could get up to 1.8 CPP.
