I have a couple of questions on this, one answerable the other probably not.

1. What's Gold Service? I'm sure it's been posted here, but all I can find on their site is "2 business classes". A hole in their site, if they're quoting service classes by name but not defining.

2. Any guesses on whether FF points will be awarded for flights on this card? And if they have partners by then, partner points? Could one get ExecPlat or similar for $20k by flying to YVR/YYC regularly for 90 days? Would it be worth it? (Let's say, (a) actually spending a day or two at the destination, (b) only staying sometimes).

(My itinerary:
1. Walk to Westboro Transitway.
2. #95 bus to Ottawa station.
3. Via to Dorval.
4. Gold Card flight on Roots to Vancouver.
5. Steps 1-4 in reverse order.
6. Shake, and repeat.)

[okay maybe there aren't enough miles in three months, 13 weekends times what, just under 6k miles YUL-YVR in Gold (assuming 25% bonus) is still only 78k]
