Whether Amex would bill you for the portion you used in 2012 is TBD- I don't think anyone has tried it yet.
That would be pretty awesome if if ended up being "worth" $400 without even considering RDMs/MQMs and lounge access.

BTW TPG, I LOVE your site and daily emails. Really appreciate the time and attention to detail you put into it all.
