I understand some students-budget travelers will recoil at the idea, but if you can afford it, it's really very simple. Especially if you have less than 24 hours, etc.
While that's a ridiculous amount to pay for a card service on its own, the ability to pay for the fast-track lane at immigration makes that a very intriguing idea on the net; just the fast-track service is about $30. I haven't bothered in the past, but it seems like a much better value than just the pricier limo service on its own. On daytime arrivals via CX, the lines rarely seem that bad, but for the 11ish JAL arrivals the long lines can be terrible.
