Now that bag fees are $30 for the first checked bag, the $95 card makes sense for an individual taking two roundtrips a year with a checked bag or a couple taking one roundtrip a year together.

The no-AF product is likely popular in a different market segment, but they definitely push the $95 cards much more so I would expect more people to have them.
