Our Verdict

This 75,000 offer is a nice bump from the regular 50,000 points bonus which has been available since card launch in 2021. It does have a higher $5,000 spend requirement instead of the prior $3,000.

While the card does have a $550 annual fee that can potentially be offset with the $300 + $150 credits which will be able to be used twice during the first year. (I assume the $300 airline incidental credits could be used the same  as the regular Premium Rewards card for AA gift card, cheap Southwest fare, etc.) If you would value those $900 in credits to mostly offset the annual fee, this then becomes a nice cash signup bonus offer.
