Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm Rudy Maxa. I'm a travel writer and broadcaster.

I just came back from Europe and the the price differences of everything from groceries to bakeries to pretty much everything except for gas.

I would say that's more important than telling maybe that you have Wi-Fi on an airplane, which others have had for ages.

I would pay $895 for this card or not? Well, I'd already do. Yes, I will, I guess.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wash your hands frequently on cruise ships to avoid norovirus.
Use the Amex Platinum card for flights to earn 5x points.
Consider the value of hotel credits and lounge access when evaluating premium cards.
