This truely stinks. I think that silvers should be included in that $25 fee also. At $25 and having the pda site info knowing if an upgrade is possible, i would do it, but at $50 I really need to be desperate to get where i'm going to pay that fee.
I think the fee should be FREE for PLATS and $25 for GOLD/SILVER and then $50 for the non-elites. Thats my $0.02
