I admire any company with the marketing ability to sell their product (or service) at a premium mainly for the "status symbol" and remain profitable through these expensive campaigns (Ellen, Robert and Kate don't come cheap).
However, I do like to question those who fall for this. Could I fall for this? Yes. Would I if I see that (in Canada) Starwood Visa appears to offer the best benefits for your money? No. As I said, Starwood Amex is an exception in the USA (imo).
