What counts, and what doesn't

  • 4 credits need a one-time enrollment. Spend before you enroll and nothing posts, because American Express will not apply it retroactively.
  • Some credits only unlock after a spend threshold. Those are listed above but left out of the total, because you do not get them by default.
  • Credits do not roll over. Whatever is unused when the period ends is gone.

Is it worth the fee?

$1,479

Up to $1,479 a year in credits against a $895 fee. On paper the credits more than cover it. Whether it's worth it depends on which ones you'd actually use.
