just do the math. 2.5% on 100+k generating a 3.5k fee means that my tax payment is around 150k (guess i hate putting this dam number on paper as its been haunting me since last week when my accountant told me... but hey wish I had to pay 100+mm)

I guess y'all r right... I will get some good miles at a decent cost. However I use Starwood Amex and the double points is up to 5k... Don't have UA and usually use NW/DL/AA... does it make sense to load the expense all on starwood amex? If you had to charge around 150k of taxes to your credit card how would you do it??
I HATE MILES AND POINTS! they drive you to do things you otherwise wont!
