October 21, 2025 • 35 mins

Are premium credit cards really worth their steep annual fees? In this follow-up to last week's episode, The Travel Mom Squad digs into the true value behind four of the most popular premium cards. They look beyond the price tags to compare how these cards perform when you factor in credits, perks, and everyday usability.

From easy-to-redeem travel credits to lifestyle benefits that require more effort, the Squad breaks down how to calculate whether a card earns its place in your wallet long-term. Finally, Alex, Pam, and Jess each share which premium card they'd keep if they could only choose one—and why their answers might surprise you.
