Agreed Vasyl, the aesthetics of a card and any perceived prestige mean nothing to me either. I only mention that because one of the reasons given for the high annual fee was to position this card against other popular travel cards like Aerogold, Avion etc, all of whom have income requirements double or more of this card. And, as you said, lacking several of the included benefits of those cards as well. I guess my point was, this card is positioned to compete with those cards in cost only.
