That seems a bit counterproductive because those entering by AmEx cards, while they don't directly pay membership fees, are likely to skew toward being CIPs for DL. My guess is that DMs are more likely to have the Reserve card, for example, than other DL customers while those who have the regular AmEx Plat or Centurion charge card traditionally have high incomes, good educations, professional employment, etc. and do lots of travel, including purchased premium cabin tickets.
