Yeah, CoC was/is crap. I've only ever redeemed for the wine on my gold. i got the letter the other day (ie. as I have a Gold card, they have sent me all the info for the new Black) and it includes:-
Sentinel Gold
Priority Pass (but only 6 visits p.a.)
But no mention of the reward/gift for xyz spend....which I think is only for the new Silk. Annual fee on black, I'm told, will remain at £90.
Annual fee on the Silk will be £350, but credited back for £50k pa spend. Other benefits will include-
Concierge
Quintessentially wine club
I wonder if my RM will give me the Silk? If not, may ditch my gold-black card as benefits are more than matched by Cent. Lets see.
