I have heard that US looks very carefully at its Platinum level (Chairman's Preferred) FF'ers and not all of them are getting complimentary club memberships (to take one example).</font>
The USAIR Club originally limited free memberships to the top 10% based on revenue. This was done several months ago. I didn't qualify but USAIR did give me the club membership this week gratis based on my having CP now and every year back to '98... the club admin rep said her computer didn't go back further. I'm glad loyalty data is available, not just revenue, otherwise I would switch airlines. I think AA still doesn't look beyond current status. As a comp Platinum two years in a row, I get the same treatment as all other Platinums get flying back in coach.
