I think I'd like to wait until someone can get their card read with cardpeek first before concluding either way. Also, secondary CDW is no big loss IMO considering its low maximum amount relative to other cards.
I am looking to apply for the card. If I go through with the application and am approved, I can take a look.

I haven't applied yet. They did seem to want a current account holder to apply. As of right now, you have to go to a branch. Unless you're in LA, SF, or NY, there aren't any options for a local branch, so it's not terribly useful for the masses yet.
