a) Status Bonus Miles

I'd rather have some bonus miles in recognition of my status than a bottle of leftover Krug given to me by the FA.
However, none of this would happen if Tony Tyler is still in the CEO seat.
SSW207,
Stop ripping CX just because you don't fly enough to make CX Gold. I am enjoying my guaranteed cheap fare (savings of 1-2K HKD weekly), which is not offered by many airlines (if any) and better than anything you mentioned above. Not to mention the OP UPs and priority standby clearance I have been getting weekly (coz it's so much harder for others to make GO / Diamond)....
