The neatest thing about the chart (besides comparing airlines) is finding in one place the "bonuses" that often are not mentioned on the website or in the general program guides. Last year, Air Canada Super Elite members got 4 free 3 day weekend car rentals. I only found out about them when I became Super Elite (and used every one of them to good advantage). The 8 any fare anywhere in the world Air Canada flies upgrades were another surprise for Super Elites. It's still not on Air Canada's website or in their program guide. If I wasn't Super Elite yet, I would sure be inclined to make sure I became one once I knew about these features. Here's a sample of the Air Canada Super Elite info that is not in the program guide or website (but is in our chart):

 at 60,000, 100,000, & 150,000 status miles--free companion award anywhere in world any fare; 200,000 Q -- Air Canada Vacation package
 seasonal discounts on Economy, Executive/Executive First rewards
 Delta Hotels Privilege Gold status
 HHonors Gold VIP membership
 4 Maple Leaf lounge passes (to give to friends etc.)
 next to empty seat on UA economy

That's why we encourage other Star Alliance members to add their Airlines features for top tier flyers and also would like to see the same comparisons done for Oneworld.
