But just how many SE's meet the strict minimum of 5 and 10k? If you are crediting that much to AC, stands to reason that you have to be flying them to use the perks of being an SE (upgrades/concierge service, etc).
If you are flying 120k a year and only 2 segments on AC and everything else on UA, for example would it not make more sence to credit to UA and hit 1k to get earlier boarding, GPU's; etc.
