Well, assuming the $300-$500/week for hotel is on the Marriott Rewards Visa, and $300/mo is put on Discover...

$1200/wk in business expenses
- 400/wk in hotels on another card
- $75/wk on Discover
$725/wk could be put on the Amex

Take a highly conservative estimate of 35 wks/yr traveling

$725 x 35 = ~$25,000/yr. on the Amex

Hmm, put that way, 0.3c per point seems like quite a good deal, especially when it can be redeemed in gift cards alone (more likely airlines) for 3.33 times that value.

Now if only I could transfer it over to Marriott Rewards, I would be golden.
