True, if we needed upgrades
As I mentioned, we buy premium for longer flights and don't care on things like SJC/SFO-LAX. THe one time we might use upgrades is buying PE to Europe and SWU to J. We will get fewer SWU this way, so we do have to factor that in. But domestic upgrades are not an issue in our case.
Edit: Oh, and I wouldn't receive the card I don't carry and the luggage tags I don't use each and every year as I just did today
Cheers.
