That is what I am leaning towards, just not 100% sure, as it still seems to me there is very little difference between E and SE, its almost as if AC is missing a level, maybe they should have SSE (super super elite) or something at 150K miles for example, and then if you maintain that status for example 5 years you get lifetime status

And at the SSE level that you actually get some benfits like being able to use certs on any fare, maybe a free trip with AC Vacations on your 1st year aniversity or something like that.

Just seems like there is not really any incentive to get SE as there is hardly any difference, I wish they had something to challenge myself to achive.
