[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nice thing about DCA is you can cut it pretty close to your flight and not have to waste any time in any lounge.

Except for layovers, never really understand the appeal of spending more time than necessary in airports. [/quote]

Meh. Flights aren’t always on time, and I like[b] free food and drinks. [/b][/quote]

Card annual fee is $700.[/quote]

If you've got any card with an annual fee and you're not getting several times it back in rewards you're doing something very wrong.

I do Chase, not Amex, but I easily redeem $2,000-3,000 a year in points, plus the $300 travel credit, plus the $120 Lyft credit, plus the $60 doordash credit, plus the free global entry. Makes the $600 fee look like a bargain and the lounge access is just icing on top. [/quote]

I am someone very much "in the game", so yes I easily make up the annual fee.  But I don't think it's quite that simple for the average person as these credits become more "coupons" requiring you jump through hoops.  The rumored additional increase in the Sapphire Reserve fee to $800 makes the coupon book even more explicit.

And the credits through Amex are more convoluted than Chase.  $200 airline credit?  Can't be used for airfare, only ancillary fees, and you have to choose the airline in advance.  $200 hotel credit?  Only available for a very limited number of expensive hotels, must be booked through Amex site and must be prepaid.[/quote]
