Meanwhile, no elite package for me yet (first time SE).
Sadly it's not unbelievable at all but rather is consistent with AC/AP's :
1. plain and obvious commitment to dilute elite member (particularly SE) benefits across the board - examples include lounge overcrowding, concierge wait times, dynamic pricing inflation etc ...and / or
2. Clear inability to execute most/ all aspects of the program - examples include pervasive sqd f ups, sqm delays and errors, timely benefit recognition , (waiting months for 2k and 4K gift cards) most useless app in the industry and so on ...
