Assuming you use even ONE of the card's other benefits, like CDW, even ONCE during a year then making this one pay for itself should be a no-brainer.

Well, except that the Citi Amex Platinum comps the first 3 visits and they waive the $99 annual fee the first year. There's a long thread for that card in this forum already.
