I’ve had the RC card since 2012 and agree that it’s superior to the AMEX premium card. The $100 flight booking credit comes in very handy, but the club level upgrades are tough to use. However, when you can get value out of them it usually pays the annual fee many times over. I saved about $4,000 on a stay I recently booked with those certs.
I never saw how the economics of this card work for Chase or Marriott, it titled even more in the customer’s favor with the addition of the free night, which is probably why they pulled the card from the market. I’m glad they didn’t get rid of the card in it’s entirety.
Thanks for the insight. I would not be surprise if Chase won't let me pc bonvoy boundless to Ritz. Plus it'll be until next year from now. (The bb card was launched this year. Since there're DP successfully pc to Ritz. Will there not any issues to pc without holding BB card for at least one year? ) I probably will give up intently getting BB card only for pc.
I'm looking for a card to replace CSR for unlimited PP access and can provide great insurance benefits. I had targeted Ritz card, but now I will not hold too much hopes on this.
Citi Prestige AF $495 - Not considered bc I don't have Gold account to lower AF to $350
CNB card - AF $400 - Considering now as it has a good travel reimbursement.
Any other cards that you can think of that might be a good fit? Thank you.
