If True what will the hordes of folks who make *G based on flying 20k do?? some folks might have to actually go out and buy a Club membership or pay up for a CC that has Club assess with it and 2 free bags
It will do wonders for UA as either folks will have to fly BIS 50k (heaven forbid) or have to get use to be a kettle and start paying fees
I always felt that *S & *G should be standardized so that no matter which Carrier you credited the miles to you still needed the exact same flown to achieve any given Elite level
