Yeah, the message itself could've been a benign upsell slogan, but taking into account it is published on the special information page targeting their tier members after revamping the system in a way that limits voucher/points usage and removes baggage allowance one can't see it as anything else than a scornful comment. It is like they decided the perk was too good and want us to know they know...

That is exactly the logic that some previously loyal members will follow.
