Everyone, including 1Ks, starts at 0 CR1 until one hits 75K EQM at which point 2 CR1s will be awarded, and then 2 for every 25K EQM after that. This means that every 1K will be guaranteed at least 4 CR1s (or 50% of current max) per year, which for my purposes is plenty as most of my trips are international.
Actually in 2011 CR1s will be awarded based upon BOTH the old and the new rules.

Giving less is a positive because
you don't use them all? Odd position to have.

We're all just kidding around with dsquared's .1 segment anyway.

I was beginning to wonder if anyone was going to take it in the tongue-in-cheak manner intended. Thanks
