My top tier status with United gets me nothing re: their "clubs". Membership is upwards of $500 per year. I could buy a full fare first class ticket and still nada. And when you fly international and finally get in with gold status, the food is barely more than cheese and crackers.
And yet a BA Silver member gets in every for every flight? Paradise! Warm croissants! Thai curry chicken!
Oh, wait, I see your point. DO NOT SELL PASSES.
