That was my point. If preferred plus includes a free drink, then why doesn't an MVP get a free drink. Now is it really that big a deal, no....but still. It just seems to me if you get the "upgrade" by being an elite then you should get the perk that comes with the upgrade. That being said, at least they didnt downgrade MVP and block them out of the upgrade.
