Keep in mind that a few years ago the DTV didn't exist. I doubt you could get half that now. The primary value now seems to be the golf and transportation perks. Or perhaps more if you can find someone who is willing to pay up for the certainty of 30 years.

You are almost certainly correct re the value of TE. I don’t need the visa for my residency in Thailand, but some of the perks are nice and I hang on to it for that reason. In my own mind I had written the value of it down to zero anyway which is why I was surprised to see such large values mentioned at the start of this discussion. i travel a lot in and out of Bangkok , probably 2/3x per month, and I do value having a car waiting just the other side of customs to whisk me straight home after I get off the plane. That is why I referenced the new limo policy from TE above. If , in the future, there is a significant wait involved , then the card loses a chunk of it’s value for me.
