I am going to redo all the windows in my home. The contractor is charging me $15,000 for the job. He states that I can get a $300 discount if I pay cash / check.

My question is, for 16,500 amex gold points, is it worth the $300 I would save?

If I charge the work, I will pay off the balance without any interest accruing.

I almost want to say that this is a no brainer that I should use the card to get the points, but $$$ in the pocket is nice too.

Thanks
