A few things come to mind. Don’t try to “sell” me that this new system is more simplistic and straightforward. I don’t want to have to go through the mental gymnastics with thinking about how to have to book what or charge what to where to get these manufactured MQDs.

I simply just want to direct my airline spend and flights to a single carrier, I will use your branded CC and get to a spend threshold, but I don’t want to have to go to stupid lengths to get this for that.

my thoughts:

come out with a branded CC that gives unlimited Skyclub access. Just raise the annual fee and call it what it is. I’m a big boy and have on my big boy pants. I don’t want to have to deal with CC and SC memberships nonsense

or

If I do WFBF and have an DL Amex reserve don’t count it against my limited SC visits. I am fine with WFBF on the routes that make sense. After all you want FCM. So at least let me used the SC on my Reserve card.

Your new program is just a bunch of insulting BS
