Yeah, that's the thing. Between the wife and I, we can get five more Plat card 50k bonuses (three versions plus business, minus the one we already have), plus all the other AMEX cards out there. SO not sure if it is worth it. Basically, I think Im trying to ask people at what point is it not worth stacking up AMEX points? I have enough for 11 flights to hawaii, which will last us a VERY long time. We just got back a few weeks ago, plus have another one for new years book. Can use the miles domestically or south america, but not in any danger of running out...

Basically I'd get him on AP or something similar to get meet the 1k spend or whatever it is. THrow in regular send, it should not be hard. So basically I'd pay $50 for the card fee (after getting gift cards back), plus $250 for the miles. He was thinking about it at $100, Ill ask him what would change his mind. Maybe he'll go with $200.
