Effective annual fee is only $150 and the point rewards are still the best even without the one time bonus. You don’t want to get rid of an get a new card every year - hits your credit rating over time. Also, never cancel a card - just switch it to a no fee card from the same bank, better for your credit and no cost to you. This is assuming you put $20k+ in travel expenses on it each year. Less than that, may not be worth it vs. a no fee 2% cash back card.

Some people (including my younger self) will grab the shiniest pebble of credit card starting bonuses every year. My credit is still excellent - but eventually I just felt kind of uncomfortable having like 12 credit cards with like 100k+ credit limit. I still have them all, but I try to avoid applying for more.

This question comes up a lot (hint: Google for more analysis), but someone calculated that you need to spend an avg of $280/month on travel to make the card worth it. Makes sense to me to keep mine

Will Amex restricting guess access for Centurion Lounge actually make any difference?

I can see short term changes but the way Amex has been aggressively marketing Platinum card, we just will have overcrowding of primary card holders 🤷🏻‍♂️

What's next, everyone has to spend min. 50k a year to get Centurion lounge access or pay per visit.
