so if my business email qualifies for "google work space" and the $100 gift card.com that's a real $300 in my pocket..
I’d bet those $50 gift cards every six months are cards that you either don’t want or can acquire elsewhere at a significant discount.

Seems losing the apple credit, which is pretty lame anyway. There is no "apple monthly credit" you are given the choice of opting in for two specific products.
It’s lame for some and useful for others. Just like any of the coupons. For me the Apple freebies would be more useful than the Google freebies or ZipRecruiter or “free” gift cards for Abercrombie and Fitch or IHOP from giftcards.com

1-first is there any devaluation at all on the best in class travel protection insurance?

2-Any devaluation or the Retail protection program?

3-Any difference between the travel and retail purchases protection. ( I thought that business cards were harder on retail protection)
As you say, business cards have different protection rules than consumer cards. But I haven’t seen any evidence that any insurance benefits on the consumer cards have changed.

Finally why is Amex the ONLY one to offer Clear!!. Every premium card has global entry , TSA precheck and unless you are running a spread sheet for a large family , it’s sort of a meaningless perk .
I would like to have both Global Entry and Clear + But I sure am not going to pay for clear plus
I have it, and would drop CLEAR the minute Amex cuts the benefit. It’s basically a minimally useful insurance for when the regular PreCheck line is super long. I have more often than not spent more time in the CLEAR line than it would have taken me to go straight to PreCheck.

Also the drop for 1.5 in the portal is not such a big deal. I transfer points , although with Hyatt devalued ( I call it 1.5 cents.
But the portal is a hassle and god forbid you have an irregular op of need to make a change , you are dealing with a n OTA after all.
for some. Others are apparently happy with the 1.5 cent cash out in exchange for the OTA limits.

It would have been nice to allow card members an annual choice-- that could be switch each year -- if the wanted 4X on airlines and Hotels OR 2% on all travel.
Agreed, it would be nice for us to be able to choose from a selection of benefits, but why would Chase want customers to optimize their earnings?
