I took the elite plan when it was offered with insanely good discount.
Since I have almost 20 cards , tracking the RP , their forex charges , lounge benefits etc are all useful for me along with transfer partners and stuff. I joined savesage extremely early too. I also have used their consultation for a trip planning and will use it again hopefully in a month time .
Would I renew for 4999? Nope. If they offer similar discount, I'll renew since I like seeing the card benefits , fees and everything at one place.
It works for me since I have so many carfs , can't say same for most folks.
