VaultNerd estimate based on the card's tier and income requirements — not an official issuer cutoff. Approval also depends on income, debt, and credit history.

Our verdict

A genuinely premium card with lounge access, fast-track security and the best Avion earn and redemption rates. The high fee and income bar limit it to heavy travellers.
