That's very noble of you, but I still don't see the problem. It's not like the OP requested/demanded or expected the treatment. We FFlyers do get special treatment everytime we fly. What's the difference between getting a op-up just because you have the black card over somebody that does not? Do you feel guilty over that too?
Flying QF F one time, the FA came to me towards the end of the flight and offered a bottle of champagne or any wine to take with me. She did not offer it to anybody else as far as I could tell. I chose a bottle of very nice Chard. and didn't feel guilty at all. I really don't know why she did that but I had no problem accepting it.
