Maybe it's just the influx of GS that will be expiring on 1/31 and the newly minted ones. If they're expanding the program that much, some of the perks are bound to not be as useful.
Exactly, happens every January. And when you factor in GS MM companions, the numbers can add up. Last January on my PVG-ORD flight there were 23. Yep, 23.
