I am curious about the hotel credit. If I used the 200, will it just be 100 for the next hotel or will they give us another 300?

Going to book a room now and see if I get 100 or 300 credited back, I see the new benefits on my card now.

Assuming they keep the airline credit and Uber Cash, Ill actually keep this card despite not finding the Lululemon, Resy, or Oura credits useful. The FHR bump is majorly useful for me.

Has any existing benefit been dropped, eg Saks?

This is a damn good refresh.

We have six cards between the two of us so will be hitting Lululemon this weekend for sure. As well as some Resy spots. Looking forward to the FHR refresh also!

The second tab on the app says "link your resy profile" and states "linking required". Does this mean anything for changed with how this gets applied?

Annual fee went up to $895. It's a good deal for $200 extra per year, as long as they didn't drop any benefits.

Resy credit is easily usable to cover the bill at a cheaper place.
Digital entertainment credit now covers youtube premium which I already use.
The $600 hotel credit is easy to use.
Uber One credit saves a little money on orders and be eligible for occasional member discounts. It's not something I'd pay out of pocket for, but the benefit is a nice small touch.
$300 lululemon credit is nice to get a set of shorts or shirt every quarter. I'd value it at $150 for myself.

A $1000 in extra benefits for me for $200 annual fee increase.

Appears they got rid of the equinox credit.

Is the Uber One credit replacing the previous $10/mo Uber Cash credit? or in addition to? (I have not had the Personal Platnin a couple of years, but contemplating a switch next year). If its a replacement thats a bit of a downgrade imho same monetary value on paper but forcing you to spend it on a membership as opposed to, eg, actual rideshare service

I know it updated overnight, but you can tell which bloggers are under embargo until later today because they haven't posted anything about it this morning (hint: nobody on BoardingArea has made a single mention of this).

Looks like a strong refresh, hopefully there aren't any gotchas we are missing (don't seem to be based on a cursory glance). I have needed new workout gear, I guess I'll slowly start my Lulu collection and grow it to 6 pieces over the next 13 months

The Hotel credits are showing as $0 used even though I used the $200 credit earlier this year. So it looks like it has been reset to zero with the refresh!
