There was an article in the WSJ a couple of years ago about how airlines treat their ultra-high-mileage flyers. Bottom line: if you want a significant differentiation from 100K, you have to set the line at 200K or so. At that level there are few enough people that they get personal treatment with unadvertised benefits. They don't need a fourth formal tier with documented qualification criteria.
