Always have to consider vendor when deciding which card.
That's right, one can redeem cash from Costco Coupons at Costco locations. It's not nearly as convenient as having the rebate applied to your annual statement but it sure beats sitting on expired coupons if one should forget, and I'm sure there are ones who completely forget about these things, and this is what Amex is betting on.
