Exactly right stimpy. I agree with the OP that we are all entitled to our own opinions, but I certainly don't agree
with his opinions. Why he would be expecting anything other than the stated benefits is a bit beyond me really, especially as he got a reasonable upgrade too. And why he's getting a bit upset because we don't all agree with him is also a bit perplexing - I thought it all seemed quite civil here.
To my mind, it's people like this that drive DOWN benefits at properties by constantly demanding more than they are entitled to - or at least complainig about what they get. And, for the record, I like the inconsistencies in the RA/PC programs; it works to my advantage most times, but never to my disadvantage. (I quite often receive more than I am entitled to, but I never receive less).
And as
nicolas75 pointed out, it's not even as though he's an RA. No snobbery intended, but at least he would then be a top-tier elite. But even that wouldn't really give him the grounds for the grumbles that he has about his treatment.
