The Prestige offers a variety of travel perks, with some of the best being:
- Annual $250 Travel Credit: A $250 statement credit per calendar year that applies to all travel purchases and will reduce this card’s effective annual fee down to $255.
- Complimentary 4th Night Stay: Get your fourth night free with no black-out dates if you book four nights in a row through ThankYou.com and pay using your card, ThankYou points, or a combination of both. Capped at twice per year.
- Priority Pass Select Lounge Access: You and your authorized users can access Priority Pass Select lounges at no charge, and with no need to enroll. Immediate family or up to two guests can enter for free as well; additional guests cost $32 each.
- Global Entry or TSA Pre✓ Application Fee Credit: If you pay for the application for Global Entry ($100) or TSA Pre✓ ($85) with your card you’ll receive a statement credit for the fee, once every five years.
