And we should then get the indication of whether UDU or e500s is going to be the upgrade method in the combined program.
I was thinking on the upgrade method, why not use both methods? For example, a Platinum that used 500 mile stickers would have priority over a Platinum not willing to use them. It seems like a very slight way to change both programs the least and satisfy most everyone.
