    $850 annual card fee feels a bit steep.

    Previously, the annual fee was 1250…so it's discounted.

    For a point of reference I had the charge card for one year. I spreadsheeted the value I gained from it and it was ballpark $4000. So the $1250 fee was worth it.

    Use to be $1250 or $1500 before it was originally grandfathered - $850 puts it on par with Revolut Ultra yearly fee - If you take advantage of the Accor+ BOGO nights + Dining Credits - It's not too bad - Especially if you can book the Fine Hotels + get the room service checkouts - Really is designed for people who travel regularly.
