I'm probably not going to make 90K, yet if I had, I would have gifted Silver. That would mean free upgrades and a lot of fees waived, for someone who wouldn't make 25K EQM. Figure two checked bags would be $40/flight, and the free upgrades would be much cheaper then paid-F. Then there's the Elite line, Elite check-in, Elite security lines, etc. I'd fly 1500 EQM for that gifting oppurtunity.
