If they don't end up including them, it will end that particular stream of ancillary revenue. Why bother buying PQMs when they won't help you reach status?
For example, thanks to sequestration, I'm flying less than before. Right now I'm going to end up close to PLAT, absent a last minute uptick in travel. This year if I end up around 65,000 miles, I'll probably splurge and buy enough PQM to lock PLAT in. Next year, no.
