    have you compared the retail cost to what it cost you to accumulate that many Amex points?

    (nice machine btw)

    $150 for membership rewards for 2 years versus $1200 retail. I came out ahead.

    Anyone remember the 7.5M point in exchange for a Gallardo?

    I remember seeing it in the Amex catalog that was mailed to me and I just laughed. There cannot be too many people that average $20K/day in spending that don't already have an exotic or five.
