I concur! There once was a time when the Platinum card was obtained by invitation only. Now anyone can obtain/purchase one. It really takes an insecure person with a big ego to think that he/she will impress a stranger by the color of their card.

Are you sure about this? They have issued me a Ritz certificate for reaching the +2 level recently and expect to receive it this coming week. Furthermore, the rep gave me a code which grants me a free night in case I don't want to wait for the certificate to arrive in the mail.

Well, there goes the only reason I would get the card. (And I was going to apply because of that too.)
