Generally, yes. There are a limited and competitive slots where this strategy is viable as well. But as a simple answer, this strategy uses different cards than the SIM strategies, unloved cards, cheap cards.
The rewards also aren't subject to tax, which is low right now but could be higher. And the reward pool has been expanding! How high it could go is anybodies guess, but that affects the math here as well.
Ohh 😮 holy moly
Yep, as @ecoinstant said. Also a reminder that two different strategies can both be good, but not so good together in one account! Hence decide on what you wish to pursue and stick to it.
Was a few moths ago when I totally changed strategy - was not hard to do but it did take a bit of buying and selling.
