I really love how many opportunities there are to cash in on
premium airfare and hotels utilizing Membership Rewards.

Miles
and points can be used to save on
airfares and hotel costs
and, contrary to often parroted opinion, you don't have to save up for
premium class travel if you don't want to.
Keep in mind that the
premium version of this card, the Citi Prestige ® Card, only earns 3X on
hotels and airfare so unlike the Chase Sapphire cards, the bonus earning is less lucrative with the more expensive card.
In addition to bonus points for
airfare purchases, the American Express ® Premier Rewards Gold Card offers a plethora of travel - related benefits, such as an annual credit toward airline baggage fees, lowest
hotel rate guarantees, personalized travel services, no foreign transaction fees, a baggage insurance plan,
premium roadside assistance,
and more.
While these fixed - value currencies are great for using on cheap tickets, small expenditures, or miscellaneous fees, it's not good for using on luxury
hotels,
premium class
airfares,
and other luxury travel benefits.
