Do you want to say that this thread that I started is banned? My intention was by no means override the other thread, but instead open a thread to collect experiences of NON-AMBASSADOR benefits that elites have experienced beyond expected, and gather those reports into one place where it would be easier to find. I think this is just about the mentality of Flyertalk forums and lots of threads are discussions on these kind of things. Therefore I find it very hard to see why this thread is now somehow inappropriate or then I am misunderstanding your post.
Would appreciate your reasoning on this.
