This is my personal card and not a corporate card. I pay the AF but who cares when I'm racking up FF miles at this rate.

I charge between 5-10K a month on my Gold Rewards card. 80% of these charges are from my employer's monthly traveling expenses. They reimburse me about 5 days before the statement date. I am currently earning 2 points for every $1 spent with Amex partnered companies. I covert the points into Continetal FF miles. Every month I earn roughly 15,000 points. 10,000 miles is enough for me to upgrade from low class seating to business class when traveling between Hawaii and Guam. This is well worth the $150 AF which by the way was waived for the first year.
Thanks, Fused. So I can see that they are great for corporate cards where you get reimbursed for most of the charges, and your employer lets you keep the points. That makes sense.
How about those of you who have them as personal cards? I think I saw a post from someone who used them for groceries and stuff, but I can't find it now. It just seems like you'd have to churn a lot of charges to make it worthwhile. And I'm still brooding about that black card at $4500/ year...

When they say they are going to mail something it takes two days, when I call I get a person who knows exactly what they are doing. If I call and have just a trivial question I don't have to wait in que for forty minutes, and you get to a human super fast.JMHO

FR can be passed as long as you keep it real!Status because I carry a AMEX card.. the truth.. just a little.. LOL I would be lying if I said I did not enjoy popping down my AMEX platimun. I am a girl that grew up in the hood, never in my wildest dream would I go from project girl from New Orleans to someone who carrys a AMEX.
