GLASGOWCHILL GLASGOWCHILL The fee is now £275 and there have been some changes to the benefits.

Platinum card holders no longer get access to Virgin Atlantic airport lounges. However they now qualify for Starwood Preferred Guest Gold Level.

Im not sure how their selection criteria now works, i was turned down for both gold and green, but 3 months later they wrote to me saying i had been pre-approved for platinum!

NFH. NFH. Contrary to your comment, you don't need to pay for your travel with the card in order to get the travel insurance. However, there are some additional benefits if you pay for travel with the card that are over and above what you get with normal travel insurance. 08/10/02
elisebutt elisebutt I thought it was like the Gold Card tho, that you could only get it by invitation??? So pretty much useless for us non-earners 11/01/02
john.sw john.sw £22500 a year - but you also get perks, like free travel insurance, free cinema/theatre tickets and large discounts in participating restaurants. By paying for petrol, travel, your domestic fuel and telephone bills with your card, the rewards soon mount up. 04/02/01
