There's pleanty of MC/VISAs out there that have rewards programs, many as good as A.E.'s...
My question is why would you want to support a company that has refused to do business with your company or actually your entire industry?

Wizzo...your point is well made and I would be hard pressed to find multiple really good arguments....I, too, like to support companies that are good for our industry.
So, that begs the question, "What credit card company is *good* for our industry?"....the reality is that I do not see MC/V trumpeting our industry....in fact, they are sacrificing people in our industry for their own self-serving greed because they believe that we have no other options.
Personally...in a warped sort of way....I am looking forward to the day when Visa/MC start pulling out of adult. It will pave the way for some smart minds in our industry to step up with alternative ways to pay that will be better, more stable, more profitable, and *good* for our industry....but I understand why those methods will not be cost-effective to implement until they are a last resort.....let's face it, people will figure out a way to pay for our services even if they have to send cash through the US Mail
So...I guess the reason that I use AMEX is that between all of the poor choices, they offer the most benefits to me, the end user. Besides....have you tried to apply for a $250,000 Credit Limit on a Visa???
