So I keep getting bombarded with letters asking me to redeem my points, and I thought I'd give this a try...

After logging in to my account, I quickly found out that AMEX wants me to create yet another SEPARATE account just for the rewards program so that I can see how many points I have and choose something I like. At this point I decided not to continue and actually ask around before going through with this since credit card companies love scamming folks like me...

Is there a hidden "fee" for "enrolling" into the rewards program? Do I have to pay ANYTHING under this program once I enroll? Once I choose something I like, is there a fee or a "catch" somewhere down the road? Do I still have to pay for shipping, and if yes, are the shipping costs reasonable? What are your experiences with the AMEX rewards program? Thanks very much.
