Can you compare the points redemption choices with any oridnary MC. Even the so called prestigious Amex cards do not come close. And then the live customer service. For $95 where will you find all these benefits. Give me one example of an oridnary MC or visa or Amex?
I couldn;t agree more. Its STILL A PREMIUM credit card. You cannot and will not find these benefits for less than $95 AF. Beyond that, the new cards say "Professional" on them, which is a new class of credit cards altogether. People have to ask themselves: Would I rather have 2 billing cylces and 8 million places to use my card...or...1 billing cycle and 24 million places to use my card? I'll take the latter personally.
