Has anyone else recieved this year's glossy brochure?

Why on Earth AmEx have produced such a brochure is absolutely beyond me. What an absolute waste of paper. Bearing in mind that most cards in the UK have an earning ratio of 1 MR point per £ spent, how many members in reality have this many MR points kicking aroud:

1 Year lease on a Lamborghini Gallardo: 10,205,600 MR Points
New 27ft Boat: 31,000,000 MR Points
Lalique crystal sculpture: 1,024,300 MR Points
£10,000 Harrods Gift Card: 2,000,000 MR Points
Gaggia Deluxe Espresso machine: 376,000 MR points

Mmm, methinks I would rather transfer the points into my mileage program of choice. Sure there are some people that have millions of MR points, but the number is very tiny.

Thanks,
Richard

Now now GJ.... Gotta take the good with the bad. Everyone love ya

I am just now getting into my little catalog...

First thing I notice is that whoever put this together must of been smoking crack..in large quantities....or thinks we the card holders are abusing the pipe.

Lets see, very first thing I see is a very nice Aquaracer watch, retail price $1100...not cheap...Amex price 230,000 points [:0]

Well let's look at the iphone...it needs to be activated with AT&T..and is only 71k points..or $399...

External 40G HD...a mere 55k points...or $100 for a 300 gig at frys [:?]

40" Sony lcd tv.....480k points or retail of $1900

VS UC return...100K or $4k retail....let me see, where will my MR points be going [:w]

There is the EOS tickets too....

Just transferred another 18K into my FC account, so you can see what I think!
