60k for 5k in spend. standard plat offer.

i know lots of people want that 100,000 offer or the 75k offer, but this is the Charles Schwab version, and thats the only bonus.

lol @ you

550 Annual fee.
200 Annual Uber Credit
200 Dollar Airline Credit
100 Dollar Global Entry Credit
100 Dollar Saks Fifth Avenue Credit
Net value: +50 dollars in your pocket.

not done

SPG and Hilton Gold Status, worth at least a free breakfast and room upgrades
Priority Pass Select to get free food at airport lounges and select restaurants (usually free 30 dollar credit off your bill, PER PERSON)
Centurion Lounge select, which has free food and free booze, spas, showers, etc.
Delta Sky Club lounge access, more free food.

AND THEN THERES THE 60000 POINT BONUS

lets just say, for 80k points, i booked 2 round trip tickets to japan that would have cost me $3000 dollars E A C H.

lol yeah, credit cards ARE silly. SILLY IN VALUE HOLY SHIT

200 Annual Uber Credit - actually it's $15 a month and $20 in December, and it doesn't carry over
200 Dollar Airline Credit - For incidentals like seat upgrades and airline food
100 Dollar Global Entry Credit - Every premium card has this. It's a great value obviously but it only applies when you need to renew it
100 Dollar Saks Fifth Avenue Credit - Money that most people probably wouldn't have spent in the first place

If it had a similar travel credit to the Sapphire Reserve and the Uber Credit was an actual annual credit I would agree it was worth the annual fee.

So what are you going to do with the card after earning and using the sign-up bonus rewards? The annual fee is no small amount ($550) to simply let the account collect dust.

i wont use it everyday unless im traveling, but i will say that i can use the account to transfer out my membership rewards points

its the Charles Schwab version. with this, i can convert 1000 MR to $12.50, so a 1.25x rate. normally amex only lets do you 0.6x conversions i think. Chase is a flat 1.0x for cash. 1.25/1.5x for travel, but i like having the option of CASH MONEY

Wow, that's so extra to go out in presentation.

I have the AMEX Business and am pretty happy with it. I frequently stay at Hilton hotels so at least being guaranteed Gold member is a nice plus for me enough. I don't travel all too often to take advantage of Priority Pass.

Where's the best lounge have you visited in the world?

i'd have to say it was the Star Alliance Lounge in LAX. we got in cuz we were flying Business class on Asiana to south korea (which i paid for with points from my chase cards lol)

oh my god. it was so big, it had an outside terrace, tons and tons and tons of free food. an open bar where you can just help yourself, it was A M A Z I N G.

https://www.loungebuddy.com/blog/star-alliance-lounge-los-angeles-inside-look/

second would be i think the Matina lounge in South Korea's Incheon International Airport. it was like, a legit restaurant in there. real, delicious food that was AYCE. not the lame, salad and crackers, like chicken wings, korean bbq, fried rice, soup, and a freaking bibimbap bar. BIBIMBAP BAR!!!!

and of course, free beer. i had like 3 glasses and was a little tipsy going onto the flight lol.

Amex biz is the best in the biz, tbh. Fraudulent activity flags are pretty much 100% accurate (I've had other cards that nag with false positives on a weekly basis), they overnight you a new card or send it same-day, and they call every company you have a monthly payment with and update your card number for you.

i do want to get the Blue Business Plus card, but i have 3 credit cards and 2 charge cards now with amex and i worry a denial is looming

4/5 credit cards is supposed to be the limit, so i should be good but i dunno lol.
