Nice point. Really makes 1 wonder if other than meeting a spend limit, whether or not it's even worth it. I don't need help on meeting spend limits, so this is a bummer in my instance.

I guess it's all in whether or not 1 needs the points/miles for a trip and whether or not the trouble is worth the hassle.
