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.

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.
