Not really. How is the Visa Signature branded as a Platinum? The Visa Signatures and World Mastercards have certain service level requirements that are set by Visa and MasterCard to make them different than Platinum Cards:
-No Preset Spending Limit
-Concierge Service
-Rental Car Insurance Coverage [often un published]
-Extended Warranty Programs
-Extend Travel Accident Insurance.
I have a World MasterCard and for me the most useful feature is the Concierge as provided by CitiBank and the No Preset Spending Limit, I want a Visa Signature but no one offers a card I want...
