New FoundersCard Benefit: Surf Air
FoundersCard has announced a partnership with Surf Air. FC Members now enjoy a round trip trial flight with Surf Air for $650 (value of $1,000). To learn more about Surf Air, check out their page here. I don’t know much about Surf Air but their site is pretty transparent and has pricing and membership options. I would love to hear in the comments section from anyone who uses the service.

Conclusion
This seems like it could be a great value, especially for those who live in Texas and California as those are the states the service is based out of. The Promotion page on FoundersCard also mentions a $350 savings, I’m hoping that’s on the membership fee but there are no added details. FoundersCard has something for everyone and there are plenty of other valuable membership benefits, most notably Total Rewards Diamond Status as well as AAdvantage Platinum Status potential.

Diamond status / Total Rewards is a decent perk of the Founder’s Card. But! huge risk if you sign up now if that’s primarily what your in it for. Status is good through 2018, but who knows if this benefit will be there for 2019 (and beyond).
Please actually do some more research and dig into this promotion.
