Best for those who want premium perks and aren't worried about using rewards points
This card offers a ton of benefits — perks comparable to other cards with similar fees. However, it falls flat in two key areas: no welcome bonus and weak spending categories. Many people would do better with other premium credit cards. (Partner Offer)

Our Take
TPG Editor's Rating
Overview
This is a premium card with premium benefits to elevate your travels. However, it lacks premium rewards and has no welcome bonus.
Pros
- There are numerous benefits to offset the card's annual fee. These include a $100 annual airline incidental credit, reimbursement for your Global Entry or TSA PreCheck application fee and Priority Pass Select membership. You'll also get an abundance of travel and shopping protections
Cons
- The earning structure is very weak, earning just 1 point per dollar on all purchases. There also aren't any transfer partners for outsized redemption values.
Who is this card good for?
This card is good for travelers who want premium perks like lounge access and insurance protections but rarely use points for anything but statement credit so they aren’t worried about a lack of redemption options.
Earning Rewards
Earn 1 point per dollar on all purchases. These can be redeemed at 2 cents apiece in value for airfare purchases or 1.5 cents apiece as a statement credit.
