F ground service in general + top tier CS (within the group).
For long-haul you can buy it, for short haul, you can't, even if you wanted to.
Financially it's a big outlay, is it worth it, I doubt it, but I will say I was seriously looking at it when M&M changed to Points system, if only just to try it for a year. I would have quite possibly done it if North Africa counted as intercontinental, so there was some variety. I was not a big fan of going to TLV every couple of weeks for a year even before the current security situation made it even worse... Honestly, people drop that kind of money on a nice vacation and it's not seen as that much of an extravagance.
