Yeah, and doesn’t really seem like it’s going to meet Ed’s goal of doubling the amount of spend in the AmEx/Delta partnership.
I know AmEx has really excellent data sets and really excellent data scientists playing with them and all, and already has a sense of how it’s played out with the AmEx Platinum lounge changes but I think they’ve miscalculated on this one.
Have been texting my sister and she’s already planning on downgrading her Reserve to a SkyMiles Platinum come the new year.
