I agree and prefer my Amex but too many places don't take it so I don't see carrying just an Amex to be practical.
I also don't find the idea of having 8-10 credit cards, applying for all of them, then carrying some number of them, figuring out which ones have the current best rebate percentages, occasionally using all of them to keep them active, then paying all of these bills (no matter how you set it up there is some time involved), then if my wallet is stolen or lost (or if my card information is stolen) dealing with all of these accounts and it being worth it to me.
Reality is there is money to be saved and depending on the deal I am probably missing out but I don't see all of this as being "free".
