I think Simon has done an excellent job for Airpoints and Gold Elites.

1. Banking Gold Elite Years

2. Able to top up Airpoints on a 1:1 basis for flight purchases allows part payment of airfares.

3. Ability to upgrade and buy the air dollars instead of waiting to earn them

4. Earning options on both airline and credit cards for both status and ADP

Top 4 things and as a GE me greatly

I think we need to realise that we can not have all the bells and whistles of the past the airline can not afford it.
