When everyone on board already has more or less what the competition is offering as the up-sell it is hard to give away another benefit and make a customer see the value there.
maybe mint is better than the legacy domestic product elites get upgrades to, but why would I choose no upgrade on B6 vs upgrades to business first on a legacy? mint is a lovely product but with no upgrades, B6 leaves the modern elite flyer with much to be desired
