What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Pros

  • Checkmark Icon

    No other rewards card offers a big bonus each and every year.

    The cost of ownership is outweighed by the perks and extras.

  • Checkmark Icon

    The flat rate of 2X the miles for every $1 spent is simple to use and understand.

Cons

  • The lounge access feature isn’t stellar, you still have to pay to use the lounges.

  • The amount of spending to reach the bonus threshold is high and may not be attainable for many.
