Never easy to see something exceptional becoming average and attainable for average. It is just now a question of time until they further downgrade the already enhanced and slimmed down service related to HON.
Being one since 2007 it makes me very sad to see the continuous strive to the bottom. And a pity for those "real HON's" who have to travel a lot to have lost the opportunity to experience exceptional loyalty service and benefits like we did in the beginning of the HON Circle.
Rant over. Probably one needs to be happy with what one gets due to lack of alternatives. I did 800K HON miles last year - so don't need to re qualify now until 2026, where I need to renew for 2027.
Can you give a concrete example or two? I have been SEN for quite a while and there obviously the status has degraded a lot over the last ten years, it's nowhere near what it used to be. But has HON also degraded in the same way?
