Many people have been complaining about "chipping away" of elite benefits--
I don't think the beancounters have found AS gets much more revenue because elites are not repricing their tickets because of this as THEY AREN'T
AWARE they are losing anything by doing it in order to avoid doing it. How would they know it could be a problem, if they didn't ask to have the date they were added to the WL read to them after repricing. Who would even think to ask that?

Despite the many times I asked, I was always told all they had to do was generate a certificate and nothing else, especially not my place in the upgrade list would change.

Is this also somethiing that is not easily fixable with your computer system?
If so, just let people know so they can do their own cost/benefit analysis of whether the difference in price is worth (the almost certainty of) lowering one's priority on the upgrade waitlist.
