In the steady state as 75K, you'll start with 20, earn 40 as you climb up to 75K SQC, and have the option to select another 20 along the way.
Last year, you started with 20, earned 10 along the way to 75K SQM, and could select 35.
So now you can get 80, whereas before you could only get 65.
But previously to qualify for E75K, you only need 75K SQM and $9000 SQD, whereas now you need $18750 SQD equivalent.
Same applies for all other levels (except for SE that got it less bad), the dollar value needed to re-qualify for the same level just doubled YoY.
