Let's see.. Visa Signature = no annual fee, has concierge, warranty/product protection, lost luggage reimbursement, and 1.5% cash back on all purchases.
The airline lounge benefit is probably the best plat feature out of the bunch for me, but there's a good chance many people here fly more than enough miles to gain access to the clubs without paying $450/year for this card.
