Also with Chase being nice on exchange rates compared to Amex here, we really are not talking about the same thing.

Perspective please.
The Amex card has the opportunity for extra miles for referrals on an ongoing basis. I wonder how many couples referred the other half for a card for a quick 22,000 miles.

I didn't even mention Tesco in my post. Plenty of people seem to amass a lot of miles through their Tesco spend. There is no US equivalent of that benefit. I would be seriously miles rich if there were!
