Here are the bullet points that make this card special:

  • As high as 200,000 points. Find out your offer. You may be eligible for as high as 200,000 Membership Rewards® Points after spending $15,000 in eligible purchases on your new card in your first 3 months of membership. Welcome offers vary, and you may not be eligible for an offer.

These credits and benefits help justify the cost of the annual_fees annual fee. I have found them to work for me. It is certainly worth the annual fee for the welcome offer you get in the first year.  I recommend trying the card out to see if you can get enough value with the credits and spend to keep the card long-term.
