|---|---|---|
| Annual Hotel Benefit | $100/year | annual |

Does the fee earn out?
The printed statement credits ($130/yr) cover the $95 fee on paper — if you'd spend that way anyway. Credits you have to remember, enroll in, or change behavior for are worth less than face value. Our app tracks each one against your actual charges.
