I personally see this all backfiring. I don't think the math and incentives align here for people interested in status. Too much opportunity cost to attaining it.
That's why the skyclub access change rule was so stupid on the reserve.
There's no reason for anyone to have both a Business and Personal reserve or platinum anymore since the MQM boosts are going away. May as well just consilidate the credit to one card and use that since there's no added benefit to having both cards. If you aren't going to meet the spend the spend for unlimited visits to the skyclub just use that savings to buy a skyclub membership
Or get the Platinum vanilla card and use the $200 airline credit towards the skyclub membership. With the $200 FHR credit, the $200 Uber credit and streaming credit that I use anyway, I'd be better off with the $695 doing that than with the reserve.
