Your suggestion to setup another benefit perk for (I am sorry to say) your very personal situation is a bit out of order (IMHO!).
There will be only a hand full of double or triple UXP level pax in the world like you.
Enjoy the Ulti perks but do not expect AFKLM will setup another circle which they will struggle to implement and will cost lost of extra effort & costs while it only impacts a handful.
Business wise not very sensible.
They need to focus on executing the Ulti benefits to the full instead.
Apologies, my post must not have been clear. I am NOT suggesting that AFKL sets up another circle for a few uber-ULTIs (by the way, I am NOT one of them: I got a gift of 1,800 UXP between last year and this, and I'll end the year maybe with 2,800. So without the gifts and the double XPs I wouldn't even requalify, unlike othres here).
What I was suggesting was that AFKL raises the bar on the entire ULTI program, and was suggesting they look at HON. At the same time, HON has a funny thing called "select miles", which is yet another coutning that nobody understands (and that they were going to abolish but then COVID came) - which basically gives you additional benefits when you hit higher thresholds. Things like upgrade vouchers. Similar to BAEC.
Thus: I do not advocate another uber-ULTI circle, just more and better benefits for all ULTIs, delivered consistently. And when they can't deliver them because of COVID, then they should at least say so, and not let passengers having to guess or being surprised.
