Maybe they'll give you double miles for the journey from the airport to the quarantine hotel.

About time. Status tied to spend makes the most sense to me.

I kind of agree to it, though no sure the amount of spending required to obtain silver if not gold status. Can’t even imagine obtaining diamond status through daily spending ...

The switch from miles flown to club points was already halfway there; it was meant to stop people from achieving GO/DM flying economy.

I was still able to achieve GO in 2019. Between allowing members to earn club points in S/N/Q class and a general reduction on what you can earn by flying Y, it was net negative for me, but not by a lot.
