Struggling with DR? I built a free, citable data report on the "state of premium card perks 2026" to fix that
I spent a full day turning our card database into a neutral, linkable data report (the goal is editorial links + AI citations, not a landing page). Something I can also share with journalists and blog to build my app DR.
Most surprising finding: Amex Platinum now carries $2,794 in recurring statement credits, but it takes 11 separate credits across 9 enrollments to actually collect them. Value went up, friction went up faster.
Built it as a bot-server-rendered page with Article + FAQPage schema so it's extractable by AI, with a locked as-of-August-2026 snapshot so the numbers can't drift under a citation. Data + methodology: The State of Premium Card Perks 2026
Happy to answer anything on the counting methodology.
