Not only that, but it carries a 3% FTF even on the $149 card, and you have to spend $10k for 5000 status miles (so $30K for the 15,000 status miles).
This is probably the most unappealing card out there, and I fly VX exclusively for domestic.
The premium's waiver of change and cancellation fees is worth well over $149/yr to me. I plan to apply as soon as the links are active.
