Can anyone tell if the annual fee is always $0 and gives plat status as long as you hold the card?
What I don't understand is why they bother soliciting their best customers (Seven Stars and Diamond) with this. I guess some Platinum players will like a buffer as you say and people who don't play much might like being Platinum (but if they don't play much they probably won't get much use out of it) but I don't see what would make it worth it for Seven Stars and Diamond players. Am I missing something?
