Most Prestigious FF Card/Level
I was wondering which FF card/level would be the most prestigious/hardest to obtain/be? This is just out of plain curiosity.

Lifetime levels (Million Miler, etc)
Annual levels (CO*, United GS, etc)
What you probably are looking after are the CO* and United GS-type levels.
CO*'s are pretty impressive to me (they are almost automatically CO Plats).

Delta has an invitation-only level called Executive Partner (called EP on FT). There is no published criteria for membership. From browsing the DL forum I understand an invitation is hand delivered but I'm not sure if that's just folklore. With the new Diamond Level with DL I'm not sure if EP will continue but since it is supposedly based on revenue and not miles flown I suspect it will stay and will continue to be a secretive club.

QF has Chairman's Lounge. But it seems to be dolled out to every politician in the country - so I'm not sure I'd like to be in that special lounge. I believe that the perks are good - over and above QF's highest level of Platinum.

In my opinion one of the hardest to obtain, based on annual levels and not on revenue or "by invitation only" is the Lufthansa HON Circle. You need to accrue 600.000 HON qualifying miles in two years.

Here in the US there's UA UGS, AA Concierge Key, Delta Executive Partner.. all more interesting than CO *.
I'd say my favorite status is Avis Chairman.
