It only provides guaranteed Platinum status on renewal. 30,000 point sign up bonus. No waiver of fee in year one. $120 per year.
Very little value.
Yeah, so now you can see why I am eager to find out if a new and improved Canadian card is coming our way because of the rewards club re-branding. There is obvious room for improvement! The annual fee doesn't even really cover the 30,000 point sign up you get.
