Your situation though is pretty specific in that you don’t care about the eUPs, PR, and expect to have 130k SQC. If you’re off and only have 110k SQC then I think you’re back to being worse off.

And you’re still hit with some big negatives. The status you want to give to family can’t be given away until later in the year when you hit the SQC milestone. The status you’re giving away is much less worthwhile to family members since so many benefits don’t come with it anymore.

Edit: And I didn’t realize about the $6,000 gift cards. That’s huge. But anyway; my point was more just that these changes are worse for both classes of people (high net revenue and low net revenue) even if there are some very specific situations that come out ahead. And while one group did relatively less bad, it’s still not a positive change.
