For a short while I also contemplated to buy 2 Z fares to the US to compensate for the loss of SWUs but I don't feel like giving CO any reward for their devious actions and cheap business tricks.

Most importantly, I won't buy any tickets from them until the sorry loosers will be capable of actually mailing me a membership card .
Good for you.

I don't waste my money on the new CO either.
