Maybe I'm totally missing something, but this card doesn't seem that great to hold, at least compared to other similar cards (e.g. The Citi card gives you PP w/ two guests, and Amex has their own lounges. )
Now the signup bonus is amazing, esp given that you get $700+ in cash benefits in year one ( travel credit, GE, etc.), but after that I'm not sure.
So is everybody just signing up for the bonus, or is anybody planning to keep this?
I probably will. The way I see it, since the $300 credit is per calendar year
and applies to anything coded as travel, two domestic round-trip tickets will basically pay for the AF on their own and then some. This doesn't even count stuff like the GE credit and the $100 Visa Infinite airfare discount.
Of course, there's no guarantee that Chase won't nerf that benefit (or others) after a year or two.
