It seems like less of an abuse than, say UA golds who status match to get UA club access then never fly CM.

They can also just let it run its course - since people who status match in and fly copa will need to credit to copa to maintain status, those who don't lose status in Feb 2017.

Given the relative upgrade potential, if you say fly 25K a year 80%UA 20%CM, it might be more valuable to go for CM Prefer Silver than UA Premier Silver since UA Silvers basically never get upgraded.
