@jerryhung no I actually didn't. I should have :P I got distracted by the 671$ Net Annual Reward (even after spending the 120$ annual fee) that I could redeem at Starwood properties.

I really didn't expect to find POS that don't support AMEX because I used to see it a lot in the past. Visa and MasterCard are wildly popular, supported everywhere you go. AMEX is more present in some big brand stores as opposed to boutique & specialty stores.

Luckily, I had a big expense that allowed me to cover 80% of the 500$ required spend to get the bonus.

Thanks for the thread!
