My travel pattern is stable with 3 -4 trips in paid J per year to Europe and mostly domestic travel in mid level economy for the rest of the spend. If it were X% in market, I'm sure that spend would be high for MSP.

I'm certain that my travel patterns being 80% domestic on mid to high level economy fares and then a few J trips to Europe are what is being examined, and not just total $ in market.

I know my spend isn't what meets the criteria, so never expect an invite, untill I cross 4mm sometime in the next 2-3 years, although some of the really low spend reported here has me intrigued.
