I do not pay any fees for use of this card, I pay the same price for mechandise as I would with cash, and they send me gift certificates which I use for birthday gifts. And Amazon now has deals with other merchants so you can go through their website to purchase all kinds of things (unlike Barnes and Noble -- whose credit card I dropped because you can only buy books and movies with that site). A great...

The hotel is located in the ShadySide area of Pittsburgh, about a mile and a half from the city center -- close enough to walk for someone who likes walking.  It is quiet at night and two blocks from the up-scale shopping area of Walnut Street.  — My suite was very well-furnished and clean.  The staff was efficient and friendly.  In addition, the parking is...
