Feel bad for my friend and everyone that paid for these steep lounge/hotel perks for a long time.
I remember feeling like it was a good thing getting my Amex. Global entry, or whatever it was called, was a pretty cool program. Having all these perks and benefits was nice. But it came with a steep annual fee. Now, though, almost every credit card has these benefits to one degree or another – especially airport lounge access. This is why I’m looking into fractional jet ownership (as if I can get it at this point πππ) and I’ve already done private helicopter service. This is yet another reason why I don’t commit to the majority of ordinary exclusivity perks any longer. In time, what is exclusive becomes for everyone and while hopping out at the peak of hysteria has a sense of thrill to it, I’m just too transcendent to engage in that baboonery lol. I still do hotel stays once or twice a month but I just pay out of pocket at that instant. No sense in tying it in with credit/check card benefits.
I won’t lie, that card looks pretty nice though. I just keep it in my wallet to flash at opportune times like I’m one of those vibrant but horrifically poisonous tropical rainforest frogs that you shouldn’t attempt to eat. π.
