The article explores the value of travel-focused credit cards, particularly the American Express Platinum card, emphasizing that such cards are beneficial primarily for frequent travelers. It discusses user experiences in a Reddit community, querying whether certain perks like Priority Pass justify the card's cost for those who travel infrequently. Overall, it suggests that consumers should carefully evaluate the necessity of these cards relative to their travel habits to avoid unnecessary expenses.
But are all of them really worth the trouble or the hassle? Are some good benefits just in theory? How much should you travel before travel-focused credit cards make sense?
If you don't travel that much, then it isn't going to be worth it.
It’s important to consider how often you actually use the perks. The Priority Pass is a nice perk for those who frequent airports with lounges, but don’t let it determine which card to get.
One community member expressed doubts about whether the cost of having a travel-focused credit card, like the American Express Platinum, was justified given their limited travel.
