I'm inclined to agree. I've been in favor of AA's moves so far, but it's starting to get a bit excessive.

On the other hand, one could view the various DEQM promotions earlier in the year as something of a perk to existing customers even though it was open to everyone. It would be more attractive, on the whole, to existing customers.

Still, it's reaching the "enough is enough" point.

Cheers.
