Not quite true. Others have noted that it affects the date on your credit file, which is true.

However from time to time there are promotions on Membership Rewards which give discounts based on length of membership. I seem to remember 10% for 10 to 20 years membership and 20% for more than 20 years.

These promos aren't frequent, but are not unknown.
