Exactly ... the problem you still need a Visa/MC ... you can get by without one that earns miles though if you charge everything else to your AMEX ...
Personally I use my MC/Visa very occassionally ... the movie theater ... a very few online stores that don't take AMEX/DC ... that's about it. The miles I'm losing out on would not justify the annual fee.
