i have confidence in you, sd.
also, should clarify some of the benefits more. On top of 100k MR points that are worth at least $1k even if you just book flights through Amex (and a lot more if you transfer to the right partner):
-Lounge access to Delta lounges, Priority Pass Select, and Amex Centurion Lounges (very elite lounges but not a ton of locations yet, currently in 6 airports DFW, LAS, SEA, LGA, MIA, SFO with HOU on the way).
-$200 per calendar year for airline reimbursement. You have to select one airline unfortunately but then you can spend whatever on it (drinks, upgraded seats, ticketing fees, boarding early stuff, checked bags, etc.) and the card automatically reimburses those charges. Since this is per calendar year I'm going to make sure to spend at least $200 this year and then I'll get another $200 before I pay the fee again (which I won't, I'll cancel it).
-Some pretty nice hotel booking privileges via Amex Fine Hotels

-$100 Global Entry reimbursement (I'm TSA pre already and OMA doesn't have a global entry sign up place so I'll probably not take advantage of this)
So, like, I'd have to be a pretty big dumbass not to make this pay off a lot
