A couple hundred dollars is its own form of exclusivity. But as I said, less so.

People have been saying RA would be axed for years, but it's been going on for what, 20 years or more even back to the old Six Continents days. I think there are enough serious business travelers that IC enjoys and they won't get rid of the program.
