As opposed to all other "premium" credit card that I have, some of which becoming more and more hard to justify, this one is a keeper. And that is not the first time I've said that.
Would it be a keeper without the $100 airfare rebate?
I don't have the opportunity to to that, as most of my travel is on business, so I can't have my wife join me and pay with a personal card. The other trips are either awards or one way.

I'm going through the same thought process as everyone, but I keep assessing the card towards the bottom and not the top due to the difficulty in using the travel credits (vs. Prestige and Bonvoy Brilliant) and the lack of use in the $100 off.
