I agree. Provided the service fee isn't more than 10-12 bucks which it usually isn't, then I always go with FTD. When they had the spafinder gc I used to buy those by the dozens when they had a 1500 miles plus 30 miles per dollar spent. Yes 12 dollar service charges but it was a boondoggle if you could use the certs which I did.

For flowers and gifts if you are going to buy them anyway why not go with something that earns you a generous amount of miles? I spend thousands each year on FTD.com for gifts for family/friends.
