There is no rewards card that can consistently return 4.5% and you'd need that to just break even for your fees! You're far better simply dropping $45 (or whatever the fee would be) in a savings account. At the end of the year, you can spend the cash on your "reward" travel.
Sorry...
Well said. Seems like this forum is full of spooks!
Also this is not new at all, there is another out there and has been around for a couple of years that I know of.
Rich, Ive started to look at TYN more closely since discovering AMEX Plat and I can show you ways of redeeming Long-Haul J flights which are the most efficient use of miles/points, period. But now gotta run, ill resume later.
