LOL. This deserves some sort of award for obfuscation.
Nothing obfuscatory about it. And not sure why it makes you LOL or feel the need to comment. I used a word in a way that was misunderstood, I said I should have used a different word. Doesn't seem like a reason to venture into personal attack land.
I very much know that MVP is not a HHonors tier having had elite status with HHonors for at least 5 years.
The underlying point is that one does not get any benefits simply because it's a MVP booking, but they get whatever benefits they would otherwise be entitled to. I don't think anyone is arguing with me on that. I was imprecise in language responding to another imprecise language post which said "MVP conveys all elite benefits," when of course the MVP rate conveys no benefits at all - elite status conveys elite benefits.
Geez.
