This.

I didn't get a survey either, but I'd suggest that maybe being able to use SWU's at time of booking, being able to secure F and J partner award flights, and being able to book AA award flights without bizarre routings and overnights might be a start.

I've been EXP for many years and I guess when the benefits just keep being whittled away a little at a time you just don't notice as much, but COVID has provided me with a much needed mental reset as to the value of all of this.
