That's right - the person who spent $15k with UA last year gets a worse deal than someone who holds a credit card.
.
All three have access to XN at 27.5K (also available to Silver, Golds, .... ) and the credit card holders of any status get an additional credit card discount.

The Plat doe get access to IN which none of the rest get.
