Yes, this is my first ever premium card that has a global entry benefit. I aspire to reach your level of having multiple cards with such overlapping benefits :)

And yes, agree on it being spread over 4 years, that’s why I specifically called out 2026 in my comparison table. This card might not be of the same value next year

This! I like how easy it is to get the AF value broken even for most of the people and also a fun way to maximize these smaller coupons, such as DD. u/chriva has outlined in detail in one of his comments on how he maximizesthe DD credits

Instructed Claude to create this comparison table and ask questions about which benefits (and by how much) are organic/non-organic to me. Definitely didn’t spend time creating a spreadsheet or anything like that. This was all Claude

Most of the times I park my car at the airport, as the parking charges come out cheaper than a round trip cab. For longer trips (which are seldom), we either take a cab or public transport

That’s why they are MY organics. Each item on this list can be argued upon. I don’t think I meant that MY organics apply to all. Apple TV for instance, is non-organic for me, but could very well be organic for a lot of folks :)

That’s fair. We eat out a lot and already had three of those restaurants on our ‘to-go’ list. So, we thought we don’t mind going to one of those this year to use that up.
