We get pretty excited around here when a card’s welcome bonus reaches the 100,000-point threshold … especially when that card also has a suite of travel and lifestyle benefits that offset the annual fee.
Four American Airlines Admirals Club lounge passes each year
For a limited time, new cardholders can earn a whopping 100,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 in the first three months from account opening. That’s worth $1,900, according to TPG’s October 2025 valuations.
That welcome offer alone delivers huge first-year value, and the statement credits and premium perks give this card exceptional value year after year.
