Sounds like he doesn't use his CC very much. My average monthly CC bill is about $2,500, so I'd hit the $10,000 in charges needed to collect the $100 every 4-5 months.

That's why I always say it is important to be sure the reward card fits the user. While a card like that would be just fine for me, it doesn't make sense for him. I agree with trying to find an alternative that would give him a more realistic reward structure.
