We've listened, and our Elite members think this change unfairly dilutes the benefits of the OnePass program. Therefore we are exempting you from this change, and Elite members will continue to earn the 500 mile minimum on all segments flown under the current policy. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again soon." How cool is that!? OMFG, have you seen this:
