Date: June 17th, 2025 12:43 PM Author: Impertinent Telephone XO answer: it's because they're tautologically poor. To be poor is to be a redditor, to be a redditor is to be poor
real answer: it's because subreddits group all of these cheapskate minmaxers into single forums (e.g. /r/CreditCards, /r/Turo). Twitter and 4chan don't have all of these people in one place because it's just a chaos of general discussion |

in addition i get

- amex lounge + delta lounge (if i'm traveling on delta, which is rare so the quota doesn't impact me) + priority pass
- various statement credits you activate (e.g. saved $50 on sunglasses, $100 when ordering a dell for my parents, etc)

Date: June 17th, 2025 5:46 PM Author: Jade area All of these elite cards have some credits and which card you get entirely depends on which of these credits you'll actually use. With my Bonvoy Brilliant it is $300 in dining credits which is super easy. That plus the free night up to 85k points comps the entire fee. On top of that I get priority pass, platinum elite status, etc. All of my chase cards give me at least $10/month Instacart credits and I use Instacart all the time. For the United Club card it is $20/month, so that's $240 right there. They also give $150 in ride share credits (I fund an account that my au pair uses). On top of that I get club access.

Date: June 17th, 2025 5:31 PM Author: Jade area My deal with my job is that they let me move away and work remote except for once a month where I'm on the hook for traveling back to the office. With CCs I get elite status which lets me get 4pm checkout for free (invaluable), can match with executive elite with the car rental (so I'm always in some German luxury car for cheap), and can use the lounge with United (and I cover the annual fee with miles anyway). The points generated by my CC mean that I haven't paid with cash for my hotel stays at all. I also have a few lesser cards like the IHG elite card and a second Marriott CC because the free day is always worth more to me than the annual fee ($95 in both cases). Also, for personal travel I always have my very large dog with me which means that I prefer Kimptons when possible. Today my au pair is traveling back and needed a place to stay so I used my points to get a room for her too.
If you travel a lot these things make a huge difference. Back when I didn't travel much I didn't bother with these cards. |

Date: June 20th, 2025 1:30 PM Author: Jade area Booking an extra night is very expensive and almost never of value to me (I usually only book 2 nights so this would add 50% of the cost, plus I never need more than 4pm checkout because I'm flying out that evening). And, of course, the late checkout is free - but without it I would either need to checkout in the AM before heading to the office and then leaving bags at the front and not easily being able to change before heading to the airport or pay for an extra night.

I have no clue how people fork over $800 in order to hope to make it back by piecing together 5 different $5 Doordash coupons that probably have a milliion different rules and exclusions.
The biggest "prize" for all their efforts is to sit in a room at an airport with other people who get their self-validation from sitting in a special room at the airport. |

Date: June 17th, 2025 7:52 PM Author: emerald irradiated forum quadroon They’re travel cards. If you don’t travel a ton, they aren’t worth it.
Think about a consultant or other business traveler who does multiple flights per week. The lounge access and status with airlines, hotels and rental cars makes a huge difference in quality of life. Yeah lounges aren’t amazing or anything but they are better than sitting in the terminal which is zoo and having to stand in long lines to buy overpriced shit airport food. |

Date: June 18th, 2025 7:39 AM Author: coral public bath gay wizard this thread is so autistic it's unreal. people listing the benefits to conclude it's "not worth it" and "who has the time for this!?". the time it took someone to list the benefits out by hand is more than i'll spend min/maxing the card. the $300 travel credit is automatic, so if you book a couple restaurants, use doordash and lyft you're already almost all the way there. and the lounge takes care of the rest, which is the big draw.
lmfao @ xoxo min/maxers eating at the gate with a bagged lunch scoffing at the wasteful loungemos. why travel for pleasure at all then? you could save even more money if you just stayed home and poasted. this is for people where $1000 isn't a big deal, and the convenience and luxury is well worth the cost.
these cards are successful which is why the amex lounges are so packed other companies are getting into the ultra premium category. yet autistic contrarian xoxoers are nebbishly calculating that ackshually if you bring some ramen to the airport instead of going to the loungue you'll save a couple hundred bucks. |

https://i.redd.it/uknlw20n24ee1.png
They would say "this book has a $3,000" value, but you'd have to spend $30,000 on the goods and services to ever save that.
With that said, I'm an Amexmo and never have an issue getting value for the fees I pay. I have the platinum and delta reserve. Platinum gets you way more miles (5x) that can be used on other airlines and for good hotels. It also gets you centurion lounge access, priority pass, $15/month on Uber, $200 in airline fees, and a monthly Hulu subscription. Delta reserve gets me platinum status, 4 domestic upgrades, and a companion fare. I fly a lot and book a lot of family trips by air so it's worth it to have both and a regular chase sapphire for places that don't take amex. |
