See the main thread about Eurocheats and Euroreals. But I seriously doubt there are many passengers, in the grand scheme of things, who Eurocheat; that is a phenomenon reserved for FTs and very savvy frequent fliers. What's more, achieving Gold for a Euroreals will only require an additional 300 tier points under the new scheme so hardly a blow. In other words, this new rule will not decrease noticeable lounge usage.
