The 20k referral bonus refers new cardmembers to a 75k bonus after $20k spend split into two $10k tiers of spend. First rewarding 50k bonus points, then another 25k. The annual fee is still $450 a year, a bevy of benefits listed below, and yes…the card is metal 😉  One thing to remember if you’re in the situation to hit the $20k spend is that the airline fee credit is calendar year, so picking up the card now is a perfect way to double dip. $200 by year’s end, and another $200 come January. Feel free to leave your referrals in the comments section, and if you haven’t gotten the card, and want one, you can click the pic below.
