EDIT: seeing this,
For anyone wondering if it's worth it, I've had the card for years and it more than pays for itself.
Free Walmart+ ($155)
Free Shoprunner ($79)
Streaming Credit (up to $240)
Saks 5th Ave Credit ($100)
Airline Credit ($200) (This IS a way to apply this to fares)
Uber/Uber Eats ($200)
Hotel Credit ($200)
Clear ID ($179)
Global Entry ($20) ($100 over 5 years)
On top of that there's all the other perks, like lounge access, hotel upgrades, insurance for renteal cars/trucks, etc. etc. etc. that are harder to put a fixed dollar value on.
Potentially useful is the $15/month on Uber/UberEats if you use those services plus the CLEAR credit if you do travel.
150k pts is $1650 in cash with a Schwab card (potentially far more if used for certain travel)
Plus you get a slew of credits (of varying degree of usability) worth many hundreds of dollars more, most of which you can double-dip since they're calendar year based.... plus access to the best airport lounges around (though be aware you stop getting free guest access in Feb 2023 unless you spend a TON on the card)
For most folks this isn't a long-term keeper card (unless either you fly a lot out of a home airport with a centurion and you can get most of the value out of even the weirder monthly credits) but it's certainly highly profitable as a signup/holding for a year.... (sometimes a second depending if retention is offering anything decent- though the loss of free guests will ding that some)

"Hotel Credit ($200)" through their portal only, correct?

What is the process for using or redeeming points with a Schwab card? Unfamiliar with that
Edit: nevermind, I didn't realize there was a specific Schwab Platinum card that gives a 1.1x redemption rate. Good to know. thanks.

How come no one has pointed out you have to spend 6k in the first 6 months to get the 150k points? That's a lot of spend.

I screenshot my 150k offer and was going to see if Schwab card division would match but it's doubtful. The Schwab card portal is currently down for me, so I haven't tried.
