Thank you One and All.

I can see that this may not at all work to my, hmm, "advantage", lol! We've been renting an apartment in Cannes for years and it's always bugged me to not be able to pay by cc and get some points (Amex), and naive as I am, I thought hey! maybe now, with the new AA card, it would work for miles!

It's such a lot of money (to me), much thanks to the weak $, and had our stays been at the Carlton or Martinez, we would get some benefit. Oh well, I guess nothing has changed. Botheration!

Thanks for being patient!
