I think the pogram is a bit problematic:

* You earn less points when in lower tiers, so it's quite difficult to reach a higher tier, but easier to maintain it -> Sounds like "loyalty"
* Once you reached Gold, there is really no extra benefit to reach Platinum.

So if you're very loyal, they give you...nothing

The website is a little vague. I'm not sure if the programme has yet established full reciprocal relationships with other SkyTeam members. There could be a long "bedding in" period, as we saw with Volare.

Still, fingers crossed .....
