Ok, let’s assume you do fly the $20k worth. AC is still out the cost of whatever benefits you utilize, which have either a very real and tangible or indirect cost (eups, IKK, concierge, baggage allowance, etc), without you having spent or earned it in the prior yr.

Just trying to look at this from AC’s perspective, what do they gain here?
