Only benefits whose terms have cleared review are listed — a benefit the issuer advertises but that has not been verified here is omitted rather than repeated. Per-benefit values are not shown because the underlying field mixes dollars, miles, points and insurance limits without recording which. The dollar question is answered below.

What the fee costs you regardless of use

The $350 annual fee is charged whether or not you use any of the benefits above. Against it, our Fee Reality model estimates $167 of credit value actually realized by a typical cardholder, out of $390 of advertised face value.

Modeled, confidence grade C — not a measurement of your own redemptions. See the Fee Reality Check for the credit-by-credit breakdown.
