For someone like me who travels mostly to luxury locations for holidays on my own dime, getting Elite status has become all but meaningless when you have Virtuoso + Amex FHR... ESPECIALLY when considering the benefits being diluted.

I still have lifetime plat though, but had I known in my 20s that there'd be FHR & Virtuoso and that the elite benefits would be watered down like this I probably wouldn't have been so loyal.
