Direct competitor will be citi prestige, USB altitude reserve, amex plat. Somewhat similar ones are wells fargo propel, amex gold
To find out which one maybe good, some questions will need to be asked:
1.Whats your spending habit? each month, how much do you spend in each category?
2. How often do you fly?
3. Are you using one airline almost exclusively? if so, which one?
4. How do you fly? economy or business?
5. What are the values of airport lounge to you (consider your flying habit and airports you will use)?
6. How much uber do you use each month (including uber eat)?
7. How often each year do you book hotel for more than 4 nights (including 4 nights)?
8. Do you mind signing up for multiple airline loyalty accounts and comparing values every time you book? or do you just want simple valuation with a fixed, decent, value for the reward points.
9. Do you have the ways to meet the spending requirement of 5k on an amex network card?
Hi,
I'll try to answer my best to the questions,
1.Each month my total spend avarage around 3-4k
Grocery, shopping and gas are top categories
2. Once or twice yearly on domestic, international every other year once
3. No particular airline
4. Economy
5. Not so much. It's like a nice to have
6. I use Uber rarely. Last time I used Uber was 9-10 months ago
7. More than 4 nights, not actually. Normally 2 days and Max 3
8. I do not might having multiple loyalty accounts and comparing before booking something if it gonna add more value to my travel
9. Meeting the spending on Amex should not be an issue but Amex platinum does not interests me to be honest
