$100 for every 5k spent sounds pretty good to me!

Yeh it does sound good, and if you can get the benefits out of it then ok, but there is an annual fee of $60.00.
You know, you have to have 10,000 miles in order to get a $100 travel credit. Unless you push a lot of money through this card, it really isn't worth the annual fee.

I'm looking for a replacement for our Amex Gold card... I was hoping to get into a southwest card, but so far have not had luck with that! they won't product change the circuit city.

But I want more than 1%.. however it would be better to keep it on a business card since running that much through a personal card could really hurt util each month.

does sound good especially the 1st year i think it said it gives you 1000 points each month you use your card, but that annual fee would get me. I guess I don't use my cards enough to benefit from something like that..For me that's a lot of baby formula and diapers, heck maybe i should do it with as much of that stuff as I buy I may can plan a trip to Paris!

Well this card looks awful for cashback. 5k miles=$25.
