We regularly discuss the rising costs of credit card annual fees<\/a>. Often overlooked, though, is the growing market for luxury membership clubs.<\/p>\n

What are those? For an annual membership fee, you get access to benefits not available to the public. Yes, you’re paying for access to perks.<\/p>\n

Before rejecting that idea, consider how much money you spend chasing airline or hotel elite status each year<\/a>. Does that automatically mean the Select Card \u2014 a new contender in the luxury membership space \u2014 is worth its $450 annual membership fee? Conversely, is it automatically not worth it?<\/p>\n

I recently tested the Select Card’s benefits to see whether it’s worth the fee. Here’s what I found and how you can decide if it’s right for you.<\/p>\n
