Billionaire bought $170M painting with his Amex for the points

Using your credit card to buy a multimillion-dollar painting to collect Amex points? Priceless.

Chinese billionaire Liu Yiqian used his American Express card to buy Modigliani’s “Reclining Nude” at auction for $170 million on Nov. 9, according to reports.

He’ll use the points to fly himself and his family around the globe for free, his wife told the New York Times.

Looks like I really need to step up my rewards point game.  Anyone have a few hundred million dollars so I can rack up some points?
