Agreed, MAAAYBEEE for Marriott points or if there’s a promo on like the current grocery promo, but most of the time it’s sock drawer time or just refilling some Starbucks/Einstein bagel/whatever gift cards at $25 a month.

Sure, but if you value the $300 monthly dining credit + 85k cert + 25 ENCs at $651, does it matter that it’s a $650 AF card (ignoring any retention offers)? As long as value is net positive you’re better off with the card.
