While I fully agree with you! There are some people who do achieve high AC status with just meeting the minimum segments and/or miles. And to your point, I don't fully understand why they don't go with another flyer program.

Yes, this I would love! OR how about offering more eUpgrade credits based on AC miles flown. They brought it down to 12/20,000 for SE, maybe they could put it back up to 15/20,000 if those 20,000 are on AC?
