Not a long term keeper but good value year 1.
it would help if u explained ur math better. cuz im confused.

100k SUB via branch email. ok.
8x AA lounge pass? u mean double dip 2 x 4 passes (calendar yr) after 1st yr AF before cancel?
$400 BB GC? u mean double dip 2 x $200 (calendar yr) after 1st yr AF before cancel? cuz then u would have to apply in DEC. which means 100k SUB is TBD.
$400 hotel credit? huh? u mean double dip 2 x $300 (calendar yr) = $600?

its simple. 100k SUB for AA transfer. even better if ever any transfer bonus to AA.
then u recoup AF via coupons. maybe double dip credits if app in DEC. then cancel or downgrade to CCC for the most overpowered card on the market, only limited cuz $500.

thats the path most will do if not interested in keeping.
