It seems that KL's introduction of Premium Economy would be the reason to spend 90 euro on a credit card...
Until now, I have a credit card linked to my bank account, for just a few euro per year. Until now, with my PE status my spouse could join me in the select seating area. Until now, I could bring my spouse and kids in to the lounge when we travelled as a family (yes, not according to the rules but we were always let in).
My point was that now I would have to get the Amex card (or two or three) to get these perks. Or pay 35 euro for lounge access for the kids. Well, at least the Amex is cheaper than 3 x 35 euro for lounge access or 150 euro for Premium Economy...
