The Compound Verdict
The value here is the currency, not the card. Miles&Smiles still prices Star Alliance awards at numbers other programs abandoned years ago, and this Imprint-issued card is the only direct US earning pipe. Take the bonus, now 25k after $2,000 plus 15k more after another $6,000 in year one, then put your dining and grocery spend here when topping off an award. Lounge access, status miles and priority boarding are now part of the card too.
