Would have been nice to see additional lounge passes, and maybe upgrade to premium from X on solo flights. It would also have been nice to see some type of partnership with Hyatt/Mariott/Hilton/Avis/Hertz for comp status like other airlines do.
That said, one thing that would really tick me off is if they start to status match to 100k. When everyone is top tier, status becomes useless.
Seems like this is just the beginning, which makes sense since it's not fully flushed out.. From the bottom of the page: "
Look for additional MVP Gold 100K perks to be introduced later in 2022, for the 2023 program year."
