I applied for this card and received a 100k miles last year when they had a similar promotion. I was planning on using the miles to go to London during the Olympics, but good luck trying to find a flight! Now a year later, I'm finally using my points, since I discovered that you can use them for hotels, and the selection of hotels is actually pretty decent. So I will be using some of my points for a stay in Greece this summer (I just don't know if I'll be using Euros or Drachmas when I visit in August...). So in general I use my Amex since I like the fact that their rewards program allows me to shop for gift cards, electronics, travel, etc. more flexibly, but this is a good backup card since not everyone takes Amex. Overall solid card.
