So I got an email today with answers for me to give, when at work, as to some of the changes. Q: why now 120 EQS? A: with 1p plus (the higher 1p status) at 90 EQS, 100 is too small of a tier qualification jump.

My own number crunching says if u made 1k at 100 segments and 70k miles, you paid less that the same flying with 100k miles, as you had to buy more tickets and more segments to hit the 100k miles. That math is irrefutable.
