It’s $500 a year but any star alliance lounge, priority security line, free Premium boarding, free checked bags, free companion passes etc.
My buddy who has the card with nexus walks right through almost every security line in N/A, necer hassle boarding or with bags, no lounge blackouts
Might not get “value” persay but the stress it alleviates has been tempting for that alone

I have this card, ive been using it for almost a year and id say its totally worth it.
First the aeroplan sign up bonuses are insane. over 100k in points, which basically gives you a free trip to asia
Secondly, you get unlimited air canada lounge access but you only get star alliance lounges once you hit over 50k on Aeroplan member. If youre a measily 25, or 35k member, you dont get those star alliance lounges.
The companion pass isnt free, you gotta spend 35k a year on that credit card to get the companion pass. Also that companion pass basically works like this. if you buy an airfare (economy only) from Vancouver to Shanghai for 2k, the companion pays $399 (cheaper if you use companion pass to fly domestic or within north america) to fly with you. You only get one a year, and you get it a year after you join the credit card.
So yes, quite a lot of perks, and its worth the solid 500 bucks a year.

They have a few international lounges in choice cities like Frankfurt, Shanghai, and Tokyo. You can access those as well.
P.s. most importantly its metal. you can use it to cut coke/fent or throw it at a nearby peasant like a ninja star. If you chuck it hard enough it might even injury said peon.
