Is Your Credit Card Fee Worth it?

We're all for some credit card perks. Heck, who isn't? But some credit card fees are getting out of control.We see you AMEX Platinum Card.Consider the following when it comes to those credit card fees.

1. Is there a sign-up bonus? Getting points for signing up is great, but make sure you know how much you have to spend to get said points.

2. Can you offset the annual fee without a sign-up bonus? 'If you don’t think you’ll spend enough to offset the annual fee, think twice about signing up for the card.'

3. Choose your brand wisely: If you frequent a particular hotel or airline, it might make sense to pay a fee to accrue extra points. A lot of branded cards have low annual fees or none at all.
