I guess what is 'annoying' is that you strive for an elite status and benefits should derive from that attained status. But with this new program, you work toward status but then you also work toward benefits. This adds a layer of administration on top of my other 4-5 elite program juggling.

Perhaps it is a system designed to only give high level benefits to people that earn them organically rather than from credit cards and buying ambassador status.

It is good to hear that IC's are proactively honoring this new benefit.

For a while, I was beginning to wonder if anyone had actually attained and used this new benefit.
