Got it a month ago. Annual fee of $75. Never paid annual fee on a card before but it's worth it. Immediately got 30,000 points which are worth like $400. Zero interest for like 15 months. 2 for 1 points when used at restaurants and anything travel related. Don't necessarily need to redeem for travel. Love it.

Mine said no annual fee. I dont believe people with good credit should have to pay an annual fee unless you have the black card.

Two versions. One with a fee and one without. The amount / value of extra (immediate) points on the fee version made it worth it to me. I think I can downgrade to the no fee account later if I want.

I love the Starwood card.

Don't have the card but just reserved at one of their places so I'm in their "club" I think. Not sure what that gets me.

I dont know if its a downgrade because ive been getting the same card offer for months but this one said no annual fee and 30,000 free points if i spend 500 in the first 3 months,

If that's the case - grab it. I called them first just to clarify a couple of things.

Ummm, Dire Straits sang that one.

Ummm, Dire Straits sang that one.

But Sting sang back-up and repeated some of Mark's lines.

One-half like for each of you. (Attn mod - how do I do this?)

Yeah, some of the perks are getting really good with some cards. Like cash back on everything, or 2-3-5% back on gasoline purchases; stuff people have to plunk down a ton of cash on, anyway.
