Key differences between the Amex KrisFlyer Cards
| Amex KrisFlyer (Blue) | Amex KrisFlyer Ascend | |
| Annual Fee | $176.55 (fee waived) | $337.05 |
| Annual Income | $30,000 | $50,000 |
| Earn Rate | 1.1 miles per dollar | 1.2 miles per dollar |
| Lounge Access | None | 4 Plaza Premium Lounge visits a year |
| Free Hotel Night | None | Complimentary night each year at participating Hilton Properties |
Essentially, the choice boils down to whether you want to pay an annual fee for Ascend’s lounge visits and free night stay at one of the participating Hilton locations. Both cards have pretty low earn rates and shouldn’t be your card of choice since you should always put spend on a 4 miles per dollar card as far as possible.
Applicants of the Amex KrisFlyer (Blue) card has to spend $1,000 within 60 days of card approval. Ascend applicants have a smaller minimum spend of $500 within 30 days.
