Oh good to know. Sitting in MCE not realizing this had taken effect already, was surprised no credit cards were asked for today.

I mean overall it's good, by reducing perceived value i mean when I list whether exp is worth it or not, this factor is no longer part of the calculation (think about justifying MRs to a colleague - you won't be able to say, cause I am exp, I get free drinks even when I have to sit in the back - they'll just say, but I get that too).
