How can you not see this as rewarding people who fly less. I have to fly about 4 times as many flights to get anything.
It's always been this way. Mr Fish has gotten high threshholds for several years with Select, and has never achieved a single bonus. They base it on a "goal" to increase your flying (by a bit over your last year or two, same time period) so if you don't increase, you don't achieve. On the bright side, your bonuses are significantly higher upon reaching your higher threshhold than the lower threshhold members. Mr Fish's last two Select offers were missed by 1 1/2 roundtrip each. I suppose I should have been on top of this, but alas, It seems I can't stay on top of everything! Gonna try to stay on top of it this year!
FWIW- This is the first time I have personally been offered the challenge (after several years as Gold), my Gold daughter (who had about 10,000 more EQMs than me) was offered nothing, nor was my other daughter (Silver, about 10,000 EQMs less than me). No Mileathons for them either.
