But if we take that 2/3 spend money into consideration, the average spending per medallion is still a grand total of $420+ per medallion!

It is not hard to envision large portion of the membership spending less than $500 (as in, one flight) per year.
Think of all the AMEX card holders who signed up to get their 25K miles, believing that they might be able to use them some day.
