What Visa Infinite (any Canadian card) unlocks

The fastest way to Sandman & Sutton Place status from a Visa Infinite card is also the only way: enroll in RSVP Rewards, validate your card, and you're in at Platinum, the program's top tier. There's no spend requirement to hit it — you just need to hold any Canadian-issued Visa Infinite card and complete the sign-up at rsvprewards.com.

That eligibility isn't a one-time trigger, either. RSVP Rewards rechecks it annually, so Platinum stays active as long as you keep the card, rather than expiring after a set window like a typical status match. Visa Infinite is the only route into RSVP Rewards status covered here, so there's no comparison to make between paths — just the one card, doing the whole job.
