Correct- the OP used his card! There was a charge made on it for the rental.
If someone gave you a amazon.com gift cert for 100.00 and you purchaed something from them for 120.00 and used your amex.. should you get double the warranty?.. yep....
If I use points for a reward airline ticket but use my plat amex to pay the 90.00 in taxes.. should I get the insurance??????? I think so!
