I am paying almost $1000 a year in fees to Amex ($625 for Plat, $195 for Gold, $150 for two Starwoods) but the Smart & Final deal alone netted me $900. Add back $300 in Airline Rebates and a bunch of other shit, I think I am grossing $2000 in Offers this year. SamsClub might net me another $150. Not bad. Basically getting paid for free lounge access and the ability to generate higher earnings at Hiltons / Starwoods. And I am relatively conservative with my aggresiveness on pursuing these deals.
Great game, and if you know how to play it right, impossible to lose.
