Yes, exactly. It’s a weird assumption that there is only one sweet spot which equally applies to everyone.
Funnily (in the context of the thread title), when I last looked at QR statuses I concluded that Gold is the first status which offers useful benefits for me while Silver is fairly worthless. As I wouldn’t get close to Gold organically, I am still Burgundy and not aiming for any status, but just book QR when it’s the best option based on other criteria.
