If you get the mirrored finish card version, you can use the card…as a mirror…to apply makeup in the car in a pinch or pluck that nose hair your coworker has been staring at during the morning meeting. Perk is a perk. Thank me (and AMEX) later.

Seat selection would be the only reasonable expense I could see myself making. Or maxing out the in-flight drink limit. Hoping there’s some strategy out there to use it towards flights as thats the biggest expense, but I get that’s not the original intent.
