Thanks!!!

Well I for one am happy. Essential same benefits as 2015 with few minor tweaks (E35 gift as a E75 option)

For those who will drop down to E75 in 2017... at least you get a awesome red card. The SE card is finally Black.

The lower requalification level applies to AQM and AQS but not AQD?

Even if they had added it... the 5% discount would have only brought it down to $19000AQD.

Would you anyone give up 50 eup credits or the 100% bonus to save $1k?

The only thing noticeably different/relevant for me, as I drop from 75k to 50k, is I miss out on the nice red card for 75k and miss the actual enhancement of being able to gift 35k.

Looks like they updated the altitude dashboard counters a little as well.

I noticed that as well. The dashboard finally shows the progress on the minimum AC requirements for S100K status holders, too, so I just learned that I have earned over 70k AQM on AC metal this year.

I was half expecting to see the AQD placeholder as well.... and million miler status would be nice to show regardless.

I see very little difference between E75 and SE100 ...at least not enough to justify double spend
It will be interesting to see what the 2017 benefit pkg is

Makes me wonder if they decide to make 2017 SE100k amazing, or 2017 E75k and below less useful.

If they brought back old-school IKK in 2017, then maybe.

It will be interesting to watch...is the Concierge Service worth the extra spend
One of my main beefs is not earning any threshold gifts until 150AQM...
