Sure, that's why I mention the Chase cards since they also appeal to someone who eats out and travels at least a few times a year. With my CSR it's simple, any sort of travel and dining earns 3x points. If I want cash that's $0.01 per point, if I want to book travel through their Expedia portal, that's $0.015 per point. Super simple.

Like I said, the main benefits of the Chase cards can be described in less than a minute, the Amex benefits need an hour so you can outline the specifics.
