1 free bag at 23kg is okay. I am all for SQM and SQD rollover (assuming you maintain elite status through flying). Priority standby is also okay.

When you have credit card benefits that are superior to 35k-50k elites, what is the point of having a "frequent flyer" program?
Counterpoint - then my $599 AF is completely useless and would have the same benefits as my fully rebated regular TD AP Visa. Not happening.
