I am so tired of all the platinums thinking they are just magically entitled and better than anyone else on the planet.
If it were me, I would not let on that I paid for F. Let him think you got an upgrade ahead of him/her. Say "well, that is for me to know and for you to figure out." That will really keep them steaming
