And llikely in future years reducing the MQD boost to 1-2k for the Plat card and ? increase to 3k for the Reserve to differentiate them

The most logical thing for DL and AX is probably moving the Reserve further up market ($1000 AF bracket with a choice between unlimited SC visits, first SC guest is free, or 4 global 1-segment DL metal award BOGO certificates; every $75k spent unlocks another choice) which would allow the Plat to get the current Reserve companion certificate (and extra certificates every 50k spend?) and 10:1 MQD at a $400 AF.
