You're wrong.
You are clearly not CX staff, or you could easily access the current zone fare table that is valid until 31 October 2017. SFO and YVR are in zone 8, the other US destinations are in zone 9.
I am not saying that this is an extraordinary perk. All airlines have such a perk. Just trying to set the record straight.
