But then it is also nicely modestly British. Most others are just frankly ridiculous now. American carrier are the worst offenders. Gold for starters, then move onto Platinum, platinum pro, titanium platinum professional concierge, professional executive platinum diamond titanium rhodium discharge.
That's so true! But I'd love if they had Silver, Gold, Platinum, Executive Platinum (GGL equivalent), Premier.
Having a "Bronze" card sounds like you're entry level ... and if you're Silver? "aw that's so sweet, you flew twice this year"
