Selfishly I would hope they would switch to a per-AU-card fee instead of actually increasing the fee. Don’t make me pay $XXX for just my wife’s AU and someone else can receive 3 cards for their spouse and kids for the same $XXX.
(right now I am not having any AU card on my account, but if I decide to keep the Plat, I would probably have to get one to avoid having to pay $50 for my wife for each CL visit starting in early 2023)
