RateBuddy Verdict

The Good
  • Includes 4 complimentary airport lounge visits globally via the Visa Airport Companion Program.
  • The first-year annual fee rebate applies to the primary cardholder AND up to 3 authorized users, offering massive first-year value.
  • Features a highly comprehensive insurance package, covering everything from Trip Cancellation to Mobile Devices.
  • Aventura points are highly flexible, never expire, and can be used for flights, hotels, or to pay down your balance.
The Trade-offs
  • Requires a strict minimum personal income of $60,000 or household income of $100,000 to qualify.
  • The 1.5x points earn rate on gas and groceries is slightly lower than some competing premium travel cards on the market.
