Spot on Tony! You are absolutely right about using a credit card and AMEX inparticular. They play baseball on the card holder's team, unless you turn out to be a jerk — and then you usually don't have the card that long.
I've been waiting for them to ask me to flash my member since age for a while now but, as luck would have it, I'm not a celeb
although I have been around for a while (1969).
