Still I did get some great deals at some very nice Starwood hotels. But now with the price of gas and everything else going up, and the hassles traveling by air, we plan on staying closer to home when we go on vacation, so we really don't need the use of that card anymore. It was probably a blessing in disguise. Yeah, I know there are plenty of good deals out there, which is why I was so surprised they wouldn’t continue with the good will credit.

There are obviously people in the AMEX organization that need to be fired. In any case I never thought AMEX was competitive. You can get free cards now that pay 3% cash back on gas, utilities, groceries and 1% on everything else. I doubt the Sheraton deal you had beats that.
