My AF renews in December, won’t get my cert until March, so it will be a while. I suspect based on how AMEX does things it will be the 85k one.
This is interesting because I can probably justify holding this card for 2022-2023 at $450 and then in December 2023 I can ask for retention offers or downgrade to the AMEX $95 card…

I don’t think it’s worthless in the US either. I’ve been upgraded at Oceana Santa Monica. Also, pretty frequently you’re earning 44x if Hilton is doing a double points promo and you’re paying with an Aspire. That’s 22k points on a $500 hotel room bill. That adds up fast. I just turned a bunch of points earned in promos into a W=A stay where I am getting over 1 cpp.
