I can't imagine that after the $5000 first-year charge that it would have left many people that just get it just the flash. I'm not sure what to think about it moving to an invite-only thing - if you aren't going to reward people that earn a ton of money for your brand and are willing enough to kick down $5k on top of that, who are you going to target?

Sweet Jebus I hope that it isn't going to be instead targeted to the Brittanys of the world, or all those godforsaken actors on The Hills.

Gimme my Cent account printed on a plain 'ol green card, I'd love that "stealth" option.
