My video rental membership card is gold. Goes that mean I'm better at watching movies than the members of the other video store on the corner?
PADI five star certification replacement?

My AMEX card is gold, which means I am certainly better at buying dive equipment. Just ask my wife who insists I not use her Platinum card since we all know that would only lead to certain bankruptcy.
Boy do I feel cheated, no 5 star PADI card and my rescue training is with NAUI. Guess I will never beome even a good diver.

The difference is that your card came from a shop that paid PADI for a door sticker that says "5 Star" on it, and agreed to not deal with any competing agencies. For example, a PADI 5-Star Shop can't offer NAUI Certifications.
"5-star" is an advertising term not a rating of any sort. There are no "4-Star" shops.
