It is a tier. Anyway, perhaps not all getting to enjoy all of the privileges provided by his or her premium cc. But that doesnt mean “no real life benefits”. Example like someone who fly frequently, i mean real frequent. So if he or she own an unlimited worldwide airport lounge entry, then he or she can have a good rest, nice shower, and some meals before the flight. This is kind of example “real life benefits”.
A good cc doent have to only have cashback, some perk is much better than cashback. And i am sure these perks, a classic card dont have.
And yup, dedicated call line for customer service. This one real good, you dont have to wait and listen to the music for so long before someone attend to your call😅. Especially you are in urgent matter.
Cheers.
ya. i get your point.
but my point is the privileges or benefits are tied to the specific card offered by specific bank, rather than the branding of VS, VI etc which did not bring much value itself.
for eg.
Alliance VI only offer 2x , PB VI 3x lounge access, while HSBC VS offer 6 times lounge access annually.
PB Visa Platinum 2x , comparable to Alliance VI.
Aeon Visa Gold 3X, Visa Platinum 6x, already better than Alliance VI.
supposedly Gold->Plat->VS->VI, but due to different bank offerings, you could be getting better benefits while holding a lower tier card.
