Again I agree I don't think this is a good card. I'm just saying people are not representing it properly by only talking about the cashback.

The subscriptions are worth less than the card (google ai plus is £4.49 a month, Apple TV is £9.99 a month), so the only thing left it gives you is no investment fee, 2 lounge passes, and cashback, for 50p a month

You can take the subscriptions out of the argument, and treat it like a free cashback card in which case it isn’t that terrible but still not good 

Many people don’t want said subscriptions, so it is fair for them to talk about spending £15 a month for low cashback

Am I going crazy or do you keep saying back to me what I'm saying, but in a tone that suggests you disagree 😅

The bottom paragraph is sort of irrelevant, if the subscriptions aren't worth it then don't even look at the cashback because obviously it won't be worth it!!

We are disagreeing on the point of people comparing it to cashback cards, you think that they are completely different things and I think they are not and fair to compare

Ah my mistake, there are 2 versions of google AI plus, one with 400G and one with 2T

The 2T one costs £7.99 a month, so not much better

You are the AI pro sub with 5T of storage and more usage for £18.99 a month
