I think AC barely cares whether people spending $15K bump it up to $20K. They just want to stop giving us lowlifes expensive free stuff.

(I'm SE, on segments, and they could have got rid of me by requiring $8000 in AQD!)
To be clear - I wasn't asking for "more". My concern is that they're going to ask for $20k spend for 2017 and then in October 2016 announce huge cuts like they did last year.
