Preach it, brother! These “elite” status CC are ridiculous. If you are able to get one, you probably don’t need it cause you have more money than most people or you are carrying massive debt cause it...

Generally if your home airport is one that has a high end (non PP) lounge then it's a major, very busy, airport where you want to get there early enough you're gonna have at least an hour (or more)...

when they had the restaurant credit, i used to arrive early at my home airport and get a hot meal. the PP lounge at my home airport is generally very crowded so it's a hit or miss nowadays.

Or, ya know, the vast majority of travelers who have friends and family they travel with.
The annual fee used to be low---near $0 in fact because you could direct book travel-- letting you...

Yeah, no thanks. I want benefits for things I already buy...not a bunch of reasons to spend a ton more.
Had this, but got rid of it years ago. Then had an AMEX platinum, which I only found worth...

What's the best travel card now for lounges? We just got a Sapphire club in my hometown but since this fee increase, I'm not sure it's worth it.

I actually read an article about the change on the New York Times that points accrued until Oct can be redeemed at 1.5 the rate until Oct 2027.

thanks for this. yes, it's not as bad as i thought initially. i'm glad they kept the $300 travel credit as that's something i'll use for sure and i don't have to think much about spending it. I don't...

Good point; in fact, sneaking guests in was a growing problem and it's a positive change to simply say: one membership per visitor required. No more free rides. If you want a seat, get in line and...

Good reason to not have this card. Having to use their portal to get the travel points…no thanks. Never really saw the value over just having Freedom and Unlimited.

Wow, just terrible. I bailed when they cut off Lyft Pink All-Access, a while ago.

i think it really depends on the area but most PP lounges around my home airport are crowded. i'm sure we'll disagree but i'm glad that they are enforcing guests limits.

Completely disagree about Venture X, it's actually the best by far. No free guests is relevant to only a minority of freeloaders. The annual fee is low. The limitation to using the annual travel...

None of the freedom cards allow point transfers to hotels or airlines-- which is how you get vastly higher value out of your points.
You must have a paid UR point card to do that--- for years CSR...

Looks like the $300 travel credit is intact. Maybe it’s not as bad as I thought.

Thanks for the heads up, OP!
I scanned but didn't see it -- do these new rules go into effect in October for existing members? I.e., if we use points now, do we still get the 1.5x value?

It's all in how you use it and what you value..Here's why we plan on keeping it at least to see how things go. My annual fee hits June 1 so I'll have plenty of time to use the new features before the...

I don't mean this as a smartass question...just genuinely: how does your home airport having a lounge help much? Do you leave hours early for a flight to hang out in the lounge? Or maybe you hang...
