I think credit card companies exempt rewards from using the checks or cash advances though....that'd be a good way to get around those situations if you could. Though the Platinum card is a charge card, they have the extended payment option on things. I have never needed those checks, so I don't even know if you can get them for their charge cards. I know you can for their credit cards.
