I don't know about the rest, but I used to be a travel agent for the Merrill Lynch Visa rewards program, and worked with the concierges (same office) and they could get it ALL!
Concert tickets, plays, hotels, box seated sport tix.....the works.

I'm still convinced, if I ever had 10mil to put away, I'd go straigt for the ML elite card. Those customers got mega-rewards from that card in travel.
