yes!!

so for a really small subset of people they legitimately would stay at ultra luxury hotels…but for most it is going to cost them more. My point is that Chase can’t possibly make this card profitable with that tiny subset. Amex is totally different since Resy is very easy to use and the hotels on there are way cheaper
