The fights, the hotels, and the car rental inclusive. I even received a few upgrades and perks just for being a member.
The best advice is to use the card then go into your online checking and send them the payment right away. No big surprises at the end of the month and no interest charge.
We even has some left over points and points from other cards that can be used if need be.
California here we come!

Just received an AMEX offer on the mail yesterday. The new AMEX terms & conditions (harshly) addresses your methods for getting points.
