Now that our household has "downsized" we don't get huge rebate checks anymore but I am still glad for the ones I do get -- and that Amex card more than pays for itself.

From what relatives and others living near one tell us, it sounds like a savior for us folks watching our pennies (or these days is it $10 bills?). When inflation keeps rising but salaries and retirement incomes don't, it's hard to know when to go for the Kool-Aid.
