The $300 yearly travel credit brings it down to $250 which is more approachable. Then you include the $100 Global Entry credit as well as Lyft benefits (10x points on Lyft + Lyft Pink sub)and it starts to "pay for itself." They're also offering $120 in credits to Peloton Digital subscriptions right now. Seeing the $550 charge on the statement isn't always fun but I think the benefits can start to make sense if you take advantage of them.
- dashundchen 6y agoFrom the hyped introduction until earlier this year, the fee was $450/yr, bringing it to $150/yr with travel credit. You also used to be able to cycle the opening bonus of 100k or 80k points every 18 months with the Preferred and Reserve. If you had a partner and were diligent about timing, it was a ridiculous amount of points. I have a stash of bonus points and that I book hotels and trips with for years. Previously the hotel and flight bookings in their portal were very good deals, at some point they switched to booking through a rebranded Expedia and now I would say the prices are average compared to other travel aggregators. You still get a higher value redeeming them for travel vs cash back though.
