Whats the conversion rate to the airlines does anyone know? I'm completely unfamiliar with the Gateway version of MR. The devil is often in the details as I learned way back when the David Jones Amex card and their special version of MR first appeared.
Granted, the card looks fine, visually, my mrs will want one just for that reason alone hehe. I'm more conservative though. Is everyone mostly excited about the 100K points and the $400 travel credit?
I've just paid $365 for the annual on the Velocity Amex, getting harder to justify that as converting the 'free' flight to a flexi (for SC's and whatnot) given the circa $130 Amex fee for cancel/rebook together with what must be deep deep discounts from VA on the transcon flights is only reaping me about $150-200 in value. Could doubtless use the 400$ travel credit to simply book a flexi direct instead of the whole book-cancel-rebook thing we try to do with the free flight and save an aweful lot of stress and bother.
