Use actual tracked value

Instead of retyping benefits, import what you actually marked as used. Cash/credits and reference values are kept separate in the source checklist.

The method

The math is not a black box.

Net value = usable credits + lounge value + other perks + incremental rewards − annual fees.

Before you act

Count the benefit once

A $20 lunch replaced by a lounge is not automatically worth an advertised $75 visit price. Credits on spending you would not otherwise make may have little value. Annualize multi-year benefits.
