Whats the consensus--is it worth the $495 fee?
Personally I don't value VIP acces or priority boarding very highly, and it looks like those are the primary benefits. Are there miles/points bonuses that I'm missing?
I remember receiving this offer from BC a few years back, and aside of Airport Lounge pass I was completely unimpressed with its benefits. If they offered you a sign-up bonus or anything it may be entirely different matter. Back then all that "exclusive" and "limited" mumbo-jumbo stroke me as a plain marketing trick.
