But, yeah, the basic point holds, so I will probably take you up on those fries at some point ... I have been eating a lot of potato chips lately, and it is important to keep a balanced diet.
By the way, although Amex Travel canceled out my booking super quick, I did lose the $100 Amex offer as a result. I called in and wheedled, but to no avail.
Well obviously you would lose the offer if you cancel the reservation. You no longer spent the money to meet the offer. It's the same with any other Amex Offer. If you spend $50 at Newegg and then return even $10 worth, you no longer met the requirements of the offer and the offer money will be snatched back.
