That would be a very deceptive measure given that basing something on one's current balance discounts any possible redemptions made through the year. My yearly balance generally hovers around 200K at any given time but I also redeem several 100K+ awards each year so I could potentially show 500K+ in at times were it not for those redemptions. MM is a more accurate measure, though it too is crude.

A friend of mine is a corporate travel agent and he once told me that there were SE and then there were SE! I guess he was saying there are many of you in the upper 1% that are known very well and have more influence in seating and upgrades! I guess that is life anyways, who you know and greasing palms i.e. revenue 
I of course am in the 99% and when I hit SE, I will be honoured just to have the SE lettering on the borading pass and being in the same exclusive club as many of you.

No R space at -7 and I've tried 5 Times to get priority business rewards and it's all been blocked out.

I am also of the opinion that " who you know" makes a difference,even at SE. I am a "Higher revenue" type SE and would be all for recognizing those SEs who do the spend vs the "bottom feeders'
who do the 4-5 TPACs for 5K or less to make SE.

.What I cannot find on-line, I tend to get my flight selection when i make the call.Moving my points accumulation to RBC Avion where it is just plain easier to get the reward seats I need for my family to travel(also upgradeable with e-credits
)
