Isn't part of the lack of satisfaction due to the fact that it was too easy for many to qualify for 100k for 2022? The rollover of 2019 early EQMs into 2021 has inflated the ranks of 100k for this year.
I presume there will be fewer 100k next year, making 100k upgrades easier and also less expensive for AS to offer differential new benefits to 100k, compared to 75k.

PS: I would like to see upgrades on AA for 100k come right after AA Exps.
