250,000 - 15,000 LPs
At least now the 15,000 reward level isn't totally worthless when you already have status, as 1,000 LPs is better than 5 preferred seat coupons.
Good news about the 1K at 15K. The only reason I could see anyone taking the 5K at the 175K level would be if it is Feb 28, and they needed them to hit Executive Platinum. And I could never see anyone taking the 15K at 250K. For what, to marginally increase the odds of getting an upgrade for seats that are progressively getting harder and harder to obtain? I’d rather have the tangible RDMs, vs a few extra probability points.
