Well yes I agree that a very small number of people would greatly benefit. Anyone though who does consistenly fly 150 SQx will consistently and easily get the top threshold gift every within a few years of linear rollovers. Agree not many people like that.... but the threhold gifts basically exclusively exist for people who are like that!
