i calculated many times, and the best value i see in amex points are in getting RENTAL CAR Vouchers.

of course in germany the prices are very low. so the A/B categorie which gives you a small car would only cost 50euro per day.

but, as for example hertz mostly dont have the small cars, they never had one when i used my vouchers. ( i cashed in over 100000 MR miles in rental car vouchers in the last 4years)
you will get mostly a car which will cost you per day at least 70 Euro. doing the same thing in another europen county gives you a better value as for example in italy or france the rental car prices are much higher than in germany.

now its too sad that the german centurion is getting worser and worser.
