Nobody can tell me they were transparent here. Neither fair. Someone who qualified for SEN in 2023 would have had 2 years guaranteed of SEN w/o bothering to fly anymore. I got the same benefit but putting the effort to hit the SEN target in 2024 (and then again 2025) and as an “added recognition” I got no reward for the travel I did in 2023.
So you'd rather
not be SEN and
only be FTL?
You
do understand SEN have all the benefits of FTL
and more, right? You get all the benefits of FTL, as promised, and all benefits of SEN on top of that.

Was the transition in their favour and to my disadvantage ? I have all the answers already.
The transition rules were published and well understood and certainly they were gamed on Flyertalk.

I still don't understand how SEN were privileged compared to FTL in qualification. You got
close to SEN threshold? That means you didn't get
to the SEN threshold. This is a yes and no question, not "close enough" question.

There were never any eVouchers for FTL, now, or in the old system. I certainly wish there were, I could have used them over the years I was FTL, but I never got any - only the ones for SEN requal.
