Here is a data point for you:
Applied and approved on Aug 23
Received card on Aug 31
Purchased a pack of gum on Sept 5
Statement closed on Sept 14
80k PC points + points from my purchase post to my PC acct Sept 17
Used points to book room for 2 nights at IC London for a value of USD 1,346.31
So, for those of you asking if this deal is still good. Yes, it is.
Though I have already used my sign-up points I plan to keep this card for the benefits. The anniversary night and Plat status is well worth the annual fee.
