I almost exclusively use AMEX for business and personal. I only redeem points for airfare.
I am 100% addicted to gaining points. If I am buying something that has a 3% fee for using AMEX over cash, I will calculate how points I am giving up vs what the 3% fee will total. Then, I can decide if I am giving up more points than money and see if it makes sense to pay the 3% fee.

Local deals with MR points to flights aren't very good. But you're right, about 1,5C/point is perhaps what you get.

CC companies cracked down on it though. I still do the calculations for CC surcharges vs cash though as i want the points. |

I just applied for a American Express Delta Airlines Platinum card through Amex USA web site but they jerked me around because I live in Japan and though I qualified would not issue me the card.
So a few days ago I applied in person at the airport for the Gold Amex Delta Airlines card here in Japan. They don’t offer the Platinum Version in Japan. I use Delta when I fly home and this should help with upgrades. Hate flying coach for 10-12 hours. |
