This rather reminds me of one of my friends (a student, no less) whose unintentionally withering response to my explaining the check-in and lounge-access advantages of a Silver card was "Oh. I don't bother about that sort of thing. I never fly Economy anyway."
With all due respect, if your daughter is doing that well, I presume she travels FIRST all the time (and never flies commercial on short-haul) so the advantages of all this status do diminish somewhat.
