Not sure what the fee is. The main perk is a free night at The Ritz hotel in Paris when you spend £5,000 in any calendar year on the card, which seems surprisingly generous. There is also lots of 'blah' about being offered exclusive products etc through Harrods, although who knows if this will amount to anything worth having.[/url]

While a free night at the The Ritz in Paris is certainly nothing to sneeze at, this is more of a cross-promotion activity than anything else since Harrods and The Ritz Paris have the same owner
