However, I'd love to see a strong points and perks card, even if it were 950/yr. I don't know how big that market is though.
I'd rather see them drop Uber and offer trip interruption/cancellation insurance for the $550 AF. It's pretty lame that a bank that owns an insurance company can't offer this perk on even one of their top travel cards in the USA. When not booking with Plat travel, I use my Costco Citi card which offers this insurance plus 3% cash back.
