ETA: I mean the foregoing with regard to status qualification. I could see unlimited lounge access getting reinstated for the Reserve card, or at least a significantly higher number of passes.
I agree they will reevaluate the reserve card limit. Since that is a triple whammy to them. Amex will be mad about losing customers, AMEX will buy fewer sky miles, and overall Amex spend will be down. The 35K for spend is roughly what I was expecting since I thought they would just raise MQDs to 25K, but with cc spend it is pretty close.
