[quote=Anonymous]These programs are changing fast. They have so many miles and points in the system they are imposing restrictions, increasing how much you need to spend each year and devaluing points and miles. Many have done the number and are walking away from these programs. [quote] After The New York Times asked readers how they felt about their loyalty programs, more than 100 wrote in to say they were done chasing airline status. Some of the respondents said they were considering canceling their airline credit cards, where banks team up with airlines to offer additional benefits like lounge access, and which offer more opportunities to earn status tied to spending. Many expressed disappointment at how they had spent years accruing points and miles with their chosen airlines only for them to become significantly devalued as airlines made changes to their programs. Ms. Brantner recalled a time when she had to spend $15,000 each year with Delta to reach the top-tier status. Now the company is asking customers to spend $28,000 annually to earn Diamond status. She also learned that her American Express Delta Reserve credit card would be imposing restrictions on how many times she could use the airline’s Sky Club lounges — unless she spent at least $75,000 on her card each year.[/quote] https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/28/business/airline-loyalty-programs-rethinking.html https://onemileatatime.com/news/capital-one-venture-x-lounge-access-changes/ https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-airline-miles-points/ [/quote]
