A Super Duper Elite lounge only for those who exceed 200K AQM each year? (I ask this completely seriously, not being at all facetious).
Honestly as little as returning to the old rate of e-up earning when once passes 100k. Right now (for me) putting money towards other programs, and their earned benefits, outweighs what I get from AC past 100k. Simply put it is a balance scale and AC doesn't have enough on their side to outweigh the other side.

Again, I really believe it is crazy. Lets say I get to 300k with AC because they added 20 e-ups every 20k instead of every 40k. I think that works out to 120 additional e-ups. What is that worth (cost) to AC to give up? It can't even be 10% of the revenue redirected IMO.
