If you look at the statistics, a majority of the people that participate in loyalty programs are not the super duper elite. they are lower to mid-tier elites that do for the most part keep to one program/airline/alliance. The super duper elite count for only what... 5% maybe (just guessing). But on the other hand... these 5% probaly contribute a lot more revenue.
This is all just my assumption on the whole mess. Am I even close? Is there such thing as a one handed economist?
This coming from a mid-tier elite on two programs/airlines/alliances... I'll just shut up now!
