Why You Might Want This Card

Get Your Membership Rewards

Amex has great rewards that are transferable to over 22 travel partners, one of the most popular being Virgin Atlantic Flying Club, where you get 100% value retained. This card does have a steeper annual fee at $150, with a few perks that, if used properly, can off-set that. You can use your card to buy one-time lounge access through LoungeBuddy and get up to $100 statement credit annually. You also get $100 CLEAR statement credit annually, which allows quicker access through Security checkpoints in participating airports.

Categories With Extra Earners

The sign-up bonus is actually not too bad, considering that this is not one of the more popular Amex cards. You also get 3x points on travel, restaurants and transit, if this is where a bulk of your money goes anyways, your points can add up pretty fast. There are a few other useful benefits that come with this one like Purchase Protection, Car Rental & Travel Insurance.

Bottom Line

American Express are some of the most rule driven cards. Because you only get the bonus’ once in a lifetime per card, you’ll want to make sure that your sign up bonus is worth it. This card occasionally will offer higher bonuses which I encourage you to hold out for. I also encourage you to only apply to this card after you’ve made certain that you qualify and after tipping Chase's 5/24 rule. Always look at the Approval rules in our Details section or if you’re a member check out the Rules Triped part under Your Status. There is never any point to charging up a card that you aren’t going to be getting something back for every $1 spent.
