I don't know if a cash rebate would be the best deal. Right now, I just booked a couple of award tickets to and from Europe. The tickets are an open jaw (to acommodate a cruise), have stopovers in the U.S. and Europe, and are in business/first class. Cost for this trip would be about $7000.00 if I bought it directly - it's costing me 90,000 miles (equal to $90,000 charged).

If I used a cash rebate for those purchases, it would only net me $900 - which wouldn't even cover the cost of the ticket in coach!
