I currently have GE with a GE card (expires 2017). My passport expires mid 2013, so I am going to send in the renewal now. I see there is now an option for a passport card. Is there any benefit to paying extra to get the passport card (specifically, any privilege on top of GE privileges)? Otherwise, if GE privileges are purely a superset of passport card privileges, I'll pass. Obviously, I'd like to avoid throwing money away

Thanks in advance.
