I submitted a claim when I returned home and had the money I spent refunded.

A recent flight cancellation in Munich had me stranded for the night, and I was able to pay for an airport hotel and meals using the card. Plus, the baggage protection coverage will reimburse you for significantly delayed or lost checked bags. There are also a host of travel protections offered like delayed trip coverage that will pay for hotels or incidentals if your flight is significantly delayed. The card comes with a credit for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry apply for those services using the card and receive a $100 rebate later. While the aforementioned perks are my favorite (and many would argue the most valuable), there’s more. Just remember that you need to have the Priority Pass app or Priority Pass card on hand to access any lounge. I am a lounge regular and love visiting as many as possible, especially in airports that give access to a restaurant in the terminal where you receive a monetary credit to spend when swiping this card. The equivalent annual membership to Priority Pass costs more than $400, which means that these first two benefits alone more than cover the annual fee.

You can bring two guests each time you visit, which means three people can enjoy pre-flight amenities like fast Wi-Fi, free drinks and snacks, and a more comfortable place to relax all thanks to the card. Next up is lounge access via the Priority Pass program, which counts more than 1,300 global airport lounges and restaurants in its portfolio.
