Wondering if worth keeping card. My annual renewal date is July 1. Let me know if I am missing anything. I am reluctant to cancel since this card is no longer open to new members. I do not travel on business so getting card mostly for lounge passes and free nights and plat status when I stay in Marriotts which is 2-3 times a year mostly. I don't use this card for everyday spend and already have SPG Amex card also. When I called customer service, they could not tell me if I was to receive annual free night award since the free night started August 26 and I was cardholder June 2018. Does anyone have insight if I would get free night if I keep card
Benefits for me
- $300 Travel Credit
- Free Priority pass for cardholder and 2 guests
- Unlimited additional users for free which means I can give lounge access to everyone of my family members.
- 1 global entry every 4 years
- Elite nights
- Club upgrades (already see in my account for 2020)
Cons
- no platinum status, only spend less than $10,000, so I am guessing Feb 2020 I will be downgraded to gold
Anything else? If I get the free night, that would justify the $450 fee since I look at it as $300 travel credit and paying $150 for the annual night plus the lounge access which I use 2-3 times a year and my family also. Just want to see if I missing anything before deciding to keep the card.
