Next question for consideration:
why do a few customers feel that they deserve more and complain when they don't get more when airlines and probably hotels, too, really are generous, almost to a point of excess, for elite ff's. For example: I can easily qualify for PremEx and Plat, the ones I know, for no more than $2,500 in fares paid and for this I get....well, you all know the benefits. Isn't that generous, even very generous?
