I appreciate the extra effort, and the pros and cons discussion. One thing I want to point out that hit me this year with the Citbank promotion: you may get a 1099-MISC form that they file with the IRS. This means you can get dinged for taxes on the value of the ticket. Anyone else have this problem? If so, that's another BIG negative for bank-related awards. Nice analysis, Gary.
