The Points Guy has an unboxing video of the card. Looks pretty fancy.

Is there a charge for the wife's card?
ProvoPower
8/25/16 12:06pm
She would get the $450 fee as well if she signed up for her own
workindev
8/25/16 12:17pm
Or if she just gets a card as an authorized user, there is a $75 annual fee but
mncougar

Right. Basically pay $75 and she gets lounge access of her own, or $450 and she

That $1300 includes that $300. 100,000 points is worth at a minimum $1000 cash
workindev

The $300, plus the Priority pass, plus the points for anyone who travels

Still $4000 in 3 months is high spending when you can't include mortgage.

You spend ~$300/month on gas, groceries, dining out, shopping, travel, etc?

Again, the annual fee on the CSP is waived only for the first year.

On that $450, you get an annual $300 voucher. So now I'm down to $150.
