For an annual fee of $800, you get...

No thanks. :td:

Gold is 250$.
Very rarely fly in P/F/J/C/Z/Y/B/M though.

As a plat, I think $149 is a bit steep for, inter alia, 6 months of silver status...

is that 25% in Additional to the Plat and COS bonus?

gpan Jan 8, 2007 3:39 pm

Its 349 for Silver WP members. The benefits are unclear past the 25% bonus (and off which number) and WP passes...

Yeah. And WC passes aren't worth much to a plat who flies mostly internationally... :(

Or someone who already has a WC membership...

That is quite a craptastic deal! I have no idea what a platinum would want to pay 150 for 4 day passes, where for 100 or so dollars more you could get a full year of WC access.

I think some of you are missing the point of the service. It is NOT to provide special benefits on NW.

It is a concierge service, and among its benefits are some on NW.

I agree. This seems like a GREAT value for $149! It's a full-fledged concierge service with exclusive benefits (i.e., a private White Tie box at some theaters, etc.). Although they're not up and running in my home city, they are in many cities I travel to.

Does anyone on here use them?

It looks like they are trying to compete with some of the services offered by Amex Plat (and others, I'm sure).

Things like dedicated tables at resturants and box tickets at theatre and sporting events can be a good deal if you'd do those things anyway.

gldwebs Jan 8, 2007 6:53 pm

Not to mention if you are plat and fly 100,000 miles for $149 you get 25,000 miles...not bad...

...nevermind...just noticed it was only the expensive fare classes...

So the Plat price for International SOS is a great price. Had I known when I was going to be in E Africa for 2 months beforehand, I might have purchased this for the coverage....
