The annual fee is high but the good news is that you can pay the annual fee using your points at a rate of 1.5 cents per point. So even after shaving off 35,000 points to pay the annual fee you’ll still be left with a very nice welcome bonus of 85,000.
You have 90 days to pay yourself back the annual fee (using your points) after the annual fee posts. The annual fee is due about 30 days after you open the account. If at that point you don’t have the bonus miles yet, you can lay out the money and pay yourself back once you have the miles.
