It's mostly about getting the card sign up bonuses.[/quote]

This. And the points you get after you have earned the bonus [b]are just noise[/b]. If you want to truly “play the game” it’s about opening new cards on a steady pace and with a specific strategy so as not to limit how many new cards you can open. Different banks have different rules. There is a significant time investment up front to learn what you are doing and then a lesser but not zero ongoing time investment to stay abreast of new developments and learn how to make the best redemptions etc. I’m in pretty deep time-wise and I’d say I’m only intermediate level at best.

There is definitely a degree to which this depends on your ability. My wife and I get to book all of our work travel on personal cards so we earn a ton a points from that. Beyond that just maximizing bonus categories i.e. 4x on food, 3x on travel, 2x on the rest etc. can add some. Always be on the look out for providing referrals to, sometimes to each other.[/quote]

I mean obviously do this too. But it can’t compete with getting 100k+ in one swoop. If you only opened a few cards and then focused on category spending, you aren’t going to accumulate nearly as quickly as chasing bonuses. [/quote]
