It's not just you; I've got the same issue. I tried to formulate another response, but didn't know where to start and gave up. I'm reminded of the old "Be careful who you argue with" proverb.

My thoughts, in summary:

- BA removed this benefit to save money
- A small percentage of people use this benefit a small number of times
- An even smaller percentage use it a disproportionate number of times, and BA feel they are abusing the spirit of the benfit
- An even smaller percentage are bothered by its impending removal to bother doing something about it
- If I was Gold, I'd be upset that something is being taken away, but I doubt I'd do anything about it

And the football has just kicked off soon, so I'll stop there and add any more later
