Any guesses on what the arrangement is between Amex and Dell with this $200x2 credit on the Business Plat? I would assume that Dell is getting something from Amex, other than the hope that the Amex Biz Plat holder will spend big enough to offset the $200x2 reduction in the prices.

BTW, I recently bought a webcam/speakerphone for $352. I've been something close to worst-case for them with this benefit. Usually I'm barely above $200.
