The Compound Verdict
A perk card disguised as an airline card. Two lounge passes, a yearly companion ticket and mileage expiry protection justify the fee for Lufthansa group regulars, while the earning rates do not justify swiping it anywhere. Get it for the welcome bonus and the extras, spend on something else.
