since I fly Air Canada, i'd consider the following the best "perks" of my Elite status:
1. Oxygen on AC metal is free
2. Extra attitude from customer service (we're not happy until you're not happy!)
3. Being able to pay lowest fare without having to worry about whether AC has ripped me off $600 for a chance at upgrading (no lottery for me, thanks!)
4. Not having to worry about miles anymore since I earn more points renting a car than flying across the country
5. being treated like a real *Gold customer when i'm not flying AC!
But then again, I wouldn't know. Air Canada's communications policy is to NOT tell the customer what they have planned!
