The effect of this "enhancement" will cause people who would use that "bonus" milage for travel more difficulty.
Ex silver at 30 segments removes 15000 miles from consumer use.
gold at 60= 30000 plat at 90 = 45000
I would suspect that most elite CO members are booking travel through their corporate travel agencies - so they would get no booking bonuses and unfortunately lower EQMs. But it is a double whammy - reducing the ability to earn miles while at the same time increasing award levels.
