This statement is so far from correct I don't even know where to begin. Do you even know what benefits UA 1K's or AA ExPlats receive? I don't mean to sound like I'm flaming you...just do a little research.

I really wouldn't even attempt to compare HA Plat to a major mid-tier. Again, HA itself isn't trying to make this comparison...why are we? They aren't even in the same league.
