Surprisingly enough, AmEx’s 20% rebate is actually a good deal. They offer competitive rates on airfare and hotel booking, and allow you to pay entirely or partially with points.
Numbers, crunched
American Express points, when used through the Pay with Points program, are valued at one cent per point, so you could redeem 97,600 points for that $976 flight to Heathrow from San Francisco. After the 20% bonus is credited to your account (it happens after the fact, and takes 10-12 weeks, according to the Pay with Points website), you’ll have spent 78,000 points, or $780. That’s $185 saved over booking with Kayak or Travelocity, enough that only one-third of your England trip will be spent lamenting the weakness of the American dollar.
American Express Platinum is steadily earning our respect
We’re generally happy with American Express as a card for international travelers, especially since the Platinum and Centurion joined the ranks of credit cards with no foreign transaction fee. Now that you can redeem your points through American Express Travel and get 20% of those points back, we’re even happier.
The American Express Platinum is one of the best-known premium credit cards, and offers a number of perks for international (or domestic) travelers. There’s a 50,000-point signing bonus (worth $500), a base rewards rate of 1% and an annual fee of $450. And based on the numbers we ran above, it only takes a couple of international flights to make up for most of that hefty fee.
Skipping customs and sipping champagne: the joys of premium credit cards
Beyond the numbers, however, the true value of the AmEx Platinum (and, really, for all premium credit cards) lies in the lovely perks. The Platinum shells out $200 in refunds for travel-related expenses like baggage fees and in-flight meals, and a free Priority Pass membership that gives access to over 600 airport lounges worldwide. A special boon for international travelers is the $100 credit towards the government Global Entry program, which allows you to skip customs lines coming back to the US (after, of course, an extensive background check). You also receive one companion ticket a year, which allows someone to fly with you, round trip, in the same class, as long as you book a business or first class ticket.
Now onto the WWE Title Match between John Cena and CM Punk.
It will be a well, hard-fought match with it being pretty even throughout the match.
CM Punk will kick out of Cena's Attitude Adjustment while Cena kicks out of Punk's GTS. The match will end with CM Punk getting a roll-up on Cena for the 1-2-3.
And as Vince declared, he's gonna walk up the ramp, and enter the ring.
But instead of firing John Cena, he states that Alberto Del Rio earned a Title Match on Raw, and that he was the No. 1 Contender at Money in the Bank.
So Vince will declare a match with CM Punk and Alberto Del Rio for the WWE Title, as Alberto did earn the rights to face the champ at Money in the Bank.
Obviously, Alberto Del Rio will win the match, thus making him WWE Champion.
This would make complete sense, as it's been advertised that John Cena will face Alberto at House Shows, Dark Matches, and rumors have even swirled that they'll be facing each other at Summerslam.
And remember, this isn't necessarily what should happen, although it would be pretty good in my opinion, but it is what I think will go down at the PPV.
