let us know how it turns out. i'd have probably ate it as i would not want amex to pay any special attention to anything i do- especially with a 5x card.

your saving grace is that it's december. well, of course they were gift cards for xmas presents... oh, what about the other months, you ask? well, i got an early jump on the holidays in september and kept going. january? belated gifts. it's also worth mentioning something that i rarely talk about: my wife and i have adopted over 40 children who, of course, must be fed. and, on a personal note: my wife weighs over 600 pounds and the kids, all 40, have taken up her eating habits. any more questions?
