I can still pay with a credit card for like $35-40. I've got an alaska card coming with a $1000 spend req., $75 fee but a $100 statement credit, so I'll pay with that and be out like $10 for 30K miles and not have to use that card when I could be using better bonus cards instead. That online thing doesn't take amex though so at some point I'll have to spend $750 for my new basic hhonors card and hope I don't have to spend too much of it on chase bonus categories.
