Totally agree - while many FF may look at their total spend and say "yeah, I can spend $20k", many of the $ that a typical FF would spend on fees and partner flights aren't counted. Seems quite steep for them to start off at $20k for SE the first year of this; even $15K for SE would be a higher cpm than the other tiers.
