Based on our meeting with execs from FAQ and their suggestion about a new tier between Elite and SE, I was just wondering will Super elite still be the top tier or will it be the middle tier with reduced requirement? Will the new top tier be based on revenue more than miles? Will a new top tier have many unadvertised benefits like SE does.

I will still make SE on miles this year but have been racking up many flights on reward travel as well. Maybe this is not a good strategy as it will reduce fares paid by about $6-10K. Will that have implications for a new tier status for year 2001?
