@jspujji As an example, I specifically fly two airlines only because they have top tier lounges and I travel enough that I care about this and will go out of my way to book these airlines.

I do not have the energy or desire to have to compete to purchase any item.
Whether its concert tickets, sneakers, etc. If me simply having the cash isn't good enough it just won't be had.
In light of the Eagles going to the Super Bowl again, needed to go back and re-watch this hilarious story telling by @KevinHart4real https://t.co/72yuhkEFNM
