Correct. There used to be two levels, Prestige and Elite. Latter was 35k. I seem to recall Prestige being less than 25 k. Maybe 15k?

Then they introduced SE. Around 1999 or so. I did not bother for a couple of years, although I was accumulating a bit over 80k. Which may have been a mistake.

At one point it was. However before that, P was lower. And before that, there was no SE.

P used to be 18K. I believe it was 2005 that changed.

It would be for you... I'm flying KU F and EY P instead of sticking to AC That's my problem. Too many other interesting things... I'll probably be 25K away at the end of the year, give or take a little.

Ah yes, the old Prestige. A truly useless level. Upgrade certificates that were impossible to use, no bag tags, no lounge passes. I was excited when I first earned it, then I wasn't.
