Good news: Finally did my taxes which I've been avoiding since I knew I would owe.
Bad news: I did indeed owe the IRS serious money.
Good news: Knocked out my BBP MSR well ahead of schedule.
Bad news: Not sure what card to focus on next.
Cards in Last 24 Months
I just got back to CC/churning after being out of the game for several years. I have a reasonable stash of MR (400K) and UR (350K). My travel profile is multiple 4-7 day domestic trips annually (primarily to Vegas and Disney - I'm a creature of habit) plus 1-2 "big" vacations annually - this year an Alaska cruise and a long road trip. I'm hoping as the world opens up I'll be looking at some more international destinations, but nothing specific planned at this point. The only specific travel I have upcoming that isn't already fully booked is a month-long road trip in the fall - I'm going to need some more hotel nights - so I could use extra Hyatt and IHG points.
My spending is generally $2,500-$4,000 per month. Plus I'm now going to have to pay $4K each quarter in estimated taxes this year. Also comfortable doing MS up to around $5K per month if needed, but prefer to rely primarily on organic spend.
I'm leaning towards a CIC for the next card, but also considering the new Chase Bus IHG Premier. If anyone has any thoughts - I'd appreciate them.
