Just trying to look at this from AC’s perspective, what do they gain here?
AC gains the $$ upfront and bought loyalty if you will.
In my case I receive some of those benefits already as a *G. They also get my spouse and five children some of the time, that can be taken as a good or bad thing depending on the day! The kids are flying are pre-teen or teens now so flying alone more often, as well with me/us.
Concierge, IKK and eUps would be where AC gives something up.
