Okey-dokey, might be time to go find something I can use those 16,000 rewards points on.
Good plan - believe me, if my Blue Cash rebate money wasn't being held hostage until August, I'd be cashing the lot in right now! I've never been bothered by the fact that you have to wait until the end of the year to get the cash, rather than having it credited monthly. Waiting to get it doesn't bother me, but whether I can trust AmEx to hand it over when the time comes is another matter.
Here's an interesting blog by a fellow who wrote a few letters to the VP of Public Relations complaining about one of AMEX's new policies and a few days later had his card cancelled.

Let me know if you find anything cool. I've got about the same and I would rather use them than lose them!
I cashed all of mine out for dining gift certs. I figure with the budget tightening it'll be the only dinners out we can afford.

It used to be Chris' steak house, Ruth bought it, didn't want to change the name so she made it Ruth's Chris' Steak House. Isn't that exciting?

Seriously, thank you! You'll never know how that's been bothering me.
Even if not a word is true, I feel better!
Evidently, Ms. Ruth didn't have a choice:
The chain was founded by the late Ruth Fertel, in 1965, after she bought the existing Chris Steak House in New Orleans. In buying the restaurant, Fertel had to agree that the restaurant keep the "Chris" name for a specified period of time. After the original location sustained a kitchen fire, she relocated the restaurant about one-half mile (0.9 km) to the west on Broad Street and renamed the rebuilt establishment "Ruth's Chris."
Under the purchase agreement, the name "Chris Steak House" could not be used at any other location, and she did not want to lose customers already familiar with the Chris name.
