In short

Strong 4x earning on dining and groceries; the annual fee stings and the credits suit city dwellers.

Many customers get strong value from the travel credit, lounges, insurance, points boost and transfer partners, often more than the annual fee.

Mint-style overview that many moved to from Mint, YNAB or Copilot; accounts that stop syncing.
