As far as I am aware, there are several banks in the US that issue the Visa Infinite Card; however, none of them advertise them through public terminals. They are primarily directed to Private Client Group customers of the respective banks; therfore if you don't have a relationship with them, you are generally not offered the card.

I believe this is the US site:

I have a NWA Visa Signature card, I don't consider myself to be anywhere near elite so they misbranded that one.

I don't think Visa or Mastercard created their Signature and World line of credit cards strictly to target affluent lifestyles. More or less, they were created to blend a wide variety of benefits that would be useful for the frequent traveller. Signature and World cards run rampant in the credit card industry these days, and those who work in the travel industry probably see more of those cards than regular Classic, Gold, or Platinum cards. Some individuals who make less than $20K a year hold these so called "Elite" cards. It is more of who is willing to pay the annual fee in some cases, while others are given gratis.

So Any Actual Updates on Stratus Rewards Program ?

Since their launch with a big fanfare a year or two ago, havent heard anything. So what is the reward program like ? What are the lifestyle services like ? Have they improved or changed the program since launch ??

I'd be interested to hear from any stratus reward holders.....

Surely someone has this card and can shed some light on it. After the big launch and press coverage, I am interested to see if the concept of a marketing organisation running the "font end" of a credit card can work ???
