I'm not in a hurry to get the card because I'm not a frequent traveler. But I would like to start earning points to save up for a family vacation later this year or next.

Also what's your guys experience with the card? Do points get devalued? Thanks for you're input in advance.

You want to save up for a family vacation later this year? There are 14 days left in the year. I'm sure you mean next year or 2012.

Welcome. If you do a title search using "amex" or "American Express" in this forum or search in the American Express forum, you find lots of information.
