It may depend on how much airfare you buy. I've recently purchased several thousand dollars worth of tickets using the cards and have saved a substantial amount of money (10%). If your annual spend is $300, then it may not be worth $30 to hunt down a Costco selling the gift cards. If you plan to spend $20k or more in the next few months, the savings can pay for several upgrade co-pays or several pairs of Bose 15s. You get the idea.
