Nobody's pretending any such thing. The 90K/120K/160K/etc. rewards were an extension of the Plat program called Elite Extra Perks (with some token bones thrown out @ 60K for Golds, too).

What DL now offers is less than what NW Plats had at any of those levels (except for the TP otherwise knows as PMUs).
