I would suggest you spread your business around to other carriers, that way when one of them makes an adverse change to their frequent flier program, you won't be so impacted.
1. Because we are IAH based CO is far more convenient. 2. The MM program has given me reason to give CO more business. 3. I do have status on one other domestic and intl carrier. 4. I'm not going to start flying WN anytime soon
Trust me, I can handle the changes; I'm just not happy about it.
