As jeelele said, whether it's worth it to you depends on your needs. I have the card, but I much prefer my Schwab card, but I still buy air tickets on it. You get slightly better than 2% if you purchase gas and redeem on mortgage payments.

I got the expedia card because it gives points/miles for flying and I have a trip out to Ausi planned and that is 10K miles eachway. plus I booked on expedia and that is 2X the cost.

As mentioned above, unless you have heavy spending, your flight points will be transferred as redeemable points only at 1:1 to the spending points. Like a lot of PPE users, you may be disappointed after learning how the program works.
