Whatever the new system is, my op-up rate is definitely benefiting from it.

...2.) Lounge crowding. #1 to me is more serious, but this is still annoying. If #1 was fixed above and #2 stayed the same I'd probably still wouldn't hesitate to return most of my travel cash spend and mileage earning to CX+MPC/AM.
