It's never pleasant to lose benefits but, as a Chicago based flyer who always makes 1K on mileage, the loss of quarterly CR-1's and additional 20 EQS for qualification is not that big a deal. I know this may sound trivial to some, but one of things I value most about the current MP is my account number. My biggest fear is when/if the new program requires a new one. It will be like changing my whole identity in a way. I wonder if others feel the same way about this.
