A friend of mine just sent me an email that he got a notice from MBNA
that the AOPA 5% rebate would be discountinued after this year and
instead he would get "2 points" for every dollar spent.

I'm not going to miss it much. Starting last year MBNA started
rejecting about 90% of the rebates I applied for. Most of the gas I
get is at FBO's that are at small airports, run under the charter of
the local township. So even though you buy the gas from "xxx Aviation"
- it shows up on your credit card bill as "City of xxx". Used to be no
problem, but now only about 1 in 10 are considered valid by MBNA.
Hardly worth it.
