Yes! If you have the chutzpah to demand it, like I do.
Well, speaking as an ELITE Presidential Plus Cardmember, I want some advantage over the NON-ELITEs since I am not paying for EliteAccess services.
So, we demanded it!!!!
We either wanted a rebate, or something else!! Well, we got something else:
25% bonus miles, and the ability to get EUA for our reward travel.
But, whatever it is, logically, ELITEs should have more advantage of the card than NON-ELITE cardholders, just as if neither of had the card. To say that NON-ELITEs should have the same advantage is unfair to those of us who flew countless hours to earn our status.
