Revolut cashback is only on metal which is £13 per month. That's £150 a year vs £25 for the amex premium cashback.

Regarding the insurances, I honestly wouldn't trust the policys being pushed by Revolut as being any good.

Didn't find any such condition on their website.

I just booked tickets for international travel for 1/5th of the cost through American Express something which no other card will provide. So there you go regarding why you should have a credit card in UK

Fair enough!

Is Amex worth paying the upfront fee?

So Delta is rewarding all its SkyClub members by cutting back when you can actually use the club. Starting 6/1, it has to be within 3 hours of your flight. But worse, you will not be able to use the club after you land for a call or a quick snack unless you are on a layover.
