If anyone has to pay >$5000 in taxes this year, this is a pretty sweet deal...

The bad: The card has a $550 fee the first year
The good: The 100,000 points are worth around $2,000 in travel. The card comes with a $200 calendar year credit (which you can claim twice the first year), so $400 total. It also comes with a $200 a year ($15/mo, plus some in Dec) Uber credit, which probably works for gift cards as well.

Total fees: $550 + 2% credit card fee to pay taxes. Assuming $5,000, that's $650 in fees.
Total gains: $2600
LOL. This thing came in a fancy box. There is a notch on the other side of it so that it doubles as a phone holder. Pretty sure that my Business Plat didn't come in anything as nice. wtf

But over the weekend, 2 day sale, it was $499, and with a promo code down to $349. I picked one up. I'd seen it before a couple mos ago on a 1 day mark down at $349, but was all 'meh' about it so I looked up some reviews a couple days later. Eventhough they were all good, they were limited in number. So I looked to see where they're made.

Google the mfrs address. ;)




If you're interested, use a spam email account and you'll get a daily promo #. You'll need that # to get the ridiculous markdowns.
