@moe8555 looking back at the card use over the last 12 months, still think it's worth the AF?

Yeah, I'm happy with it, but I also split the fee with someone on one of my two AU slots (not a simple process, the AU needs to also qualify for a Centurion - it isn't just add whoever you want like the U.S. version!).  There is also the less tangible aspect of "collecting." I am not looking to squeeze every last cent of value out of it to justify it.  As a credit card/points nut, this is akin to a car collector getting his hands on a hard-to-get car unexpectedly  ;)

There is also a recent rumor of an upcoming change that would add significant value if it were to happen.  Can't go into details unfortunately.
