For example, I heard they will be offering Gold & Plats the option of taking breakfast in the restaurant at check-in (still Mon thru Fri only). However, the guaranteed lounge access benefit will no longer be available to Gold Elites!
A few comments.
1-I NEVER used a BOGO-wouldnt know how to/where to find them. When people used to post "go here...there" etc...on the website, all I found was 14BILLION "stay a weekend night in beautiful ski country in JUNE and get 75 bonus points"....
2-I will get flamed for this...but....I think GOLD should not get lounge access. Plat/Lifetime plat is EASY to reach (ESPECIALLY W/rollover). Lounges are already slammed. BUT...that said...they SHOULD give a definative "yes/no" and not a "if available" blah blah blah! Or how about lounge certs of 10 nights/yr for Gold???
3-If they take away bfast for family, it will be a HUGE devaluation. I am affraid one day we will lose that.
