I just filed my past 2 months of flight expenses and they came in around 40K. My previous 2 months were about the same.

However, there is little to no recognition of that fact (other than the obscene amount of Avion points that I earn every year) by AC.

How does this make sense relative to the person who just referenced their AC spend to make *E as under 5K?

Unfortunately, I have no good ideas for recognition of this fact other than potentially granting extra upgrades, perks, or up-ups based on spend (e.g., for every 25K spent on AC you get another 2 SSWUs).
