Amex Tax Payment Rewards

A story about how David Hauser, who sold his company Grasshopper, used his massive tax bill to gain lifetime flight rewards.

"David Hauser sold his company Grasshopper for $125 million. He's famously frugal, and he convinced American Express to let him pay his tax bill, which was around $36-40 million, on his Amex card.

As a result, he now has basically unlimited flying. He said 'For the next 30 years, I ball out on flying and I don't have to pay for a thing' - all because he paid his $40 million tax bill on Amex."
