Not to hijack anything but in my mind if you had an AMEX card your business was paying for it for many years and it was a tax write off the fees. Further going back to the seventies when they started with points and called it loyalty, you do realize everyone's prices went up to cover the cost of the points and it really is a scam in that the government does not tax your value of points given which can be thousands of dollars for some people and that's the government gets screwed out of money. At least that's my viewpoint I'm not saying people don't enjoy getting the points and yes I've used points when given to me but it does ADD 1% to the total cost according to retailers at least
