Our Verdict
Benefits aren’t really worth it for the $450 annual fee, but it could be worth getting the first year just for the miles but even then it’s hard to justify. Think this is an easy pass for most people but better than the standard 60,000 miles offer. We won’t be adding this to the best credit card bonus page.
