Excellent value!! Sadly not sure great vfm available where I am just now, but still have a voucher to use up. Plan to reopen the card again in Jan to regain Plat and hopefully get another sign-up bonus! Have shifted my spending onto the Lloyds Avios card this year - £7k spend for upgrade voucher and Avios with no fee on forex transactions. They even manage to post them correctly and promptly, although as usual Avios.com created a new account rather than using my existing one so that took a bit to sort out.
