Restaurants/travel are 3x points and transfer easily to airline partners. The travel bonus is $300 dollars and incredibly easy to get (uber/toll/planes/whatever all count) making the card effectively 150 dollars a month if you do any sort of travel. Add in free priority pass and it's easily the best restaurant/travel card around. With a few thousand in spend for restaurants/travel, it's trivial to exceed the 150 annual fee.
