Explain svp

Then perhaps you shouldn't have opened with one.

Nor does closing with another one make the discussion in any way helpful.

This statement is hyperbole. I'm not sure why you are going to extremes, Ashkale's query is not unreasonable - after 12 years and 1000 odd posts that you ought to know this devaluation has nothing to do with BAEC. I put forward that as you've reached the heady heights of BAEC Silver, you must have earned a tier point or two in the past, and unless you did that completely oblivious to which airline you flew or how you got to that status, I fail to see how your question, in addition to the abovementioned opening remark, is nothing more than attempt to rile.
We can go into the whys and wherefores about what constitutes a reasonable or unreasonable question. I suspect we will agree to disagree.
