Well, it looks as though status will only allow you to earn hits number 37-40, so I don't know how much of a perq it is. Who knows how many extra miles that will be.
If you don't travel on business extensively, by the time you got to hits 36-40, the hits tended to be pretty expensive last year. I think by the time I was at 36, I was at the point where additional hits would have cost me in the neighborhood of at least $50 because I'd stripped all the low hanging and middle hanging fruit.
So, even if the jump from 36 to 40 hits is another 20k miles, you're really only talking about getting that last 20k for 1 cpm, which is not exactly a huge deal from a US perspective, since they routinely sell them for not much more than that.
