It's fine if I chose to do it knowing the rules, but not disclosing it and then smacking me back after YEARS of working at it (and even spending $$ to buy points) is simply unethical.
It cost you 750,000 points to buy back Plat status from having requalified for Gold? That seems like an awful lot of points for this.
