Our Quick Review

While the annual fee can be shocking at first glance, there are over $1,800 of annual credits offered on the card, in addition to airport lounge benefits, hotel elite status, and multiple insurance protections. The benefits of the card outweigh the annual fee, and the massive welcome offer makes it even better. There's a reason why people love this card and keep it every year.
