What an enhancement! I'm glad the brain trust at Willis Tower fully recognizes their loyalest customers / high spenders enjoy having benefits extended to them and then taken away. </sarcasm>
It'd be one thing if they never offered the perk... This change is really poorly received by this 1K member and taken together with the PZ removal and P PQM devaluation, is causing me to reconsider spend/loyalty for the first time in many years.
Oh, also no 1K card or kit yet (not that the trash kit really matters all that much).
