Just one more reason TYP is inferior now to other programs - the hanging threat of receiving random 1099-INT and/or 1099-Misc.
People keep saying that TYP should will still have some value after March 1st, but any such value has to be discounted by possible taxes.
Straight Cashback cards, on the other hand never report to IRS, and I believe Cashback is considered a rebate and even was tested in courts.
