You cant fly without spending. FF Status already is limited to those who can spend to achieve it.
But if you throw status credits into the mix of a credit card, suddenly status is at least partly achieved when not flying.
Then it's game over, as far as I'm concerned. Status credits should be purely and simply earned by
Earning status credits from any activity other than flying makes no sense. The whole reason they exist is to measure how much you fly with the airline. If you can earn them from general spend just get rid of status credits and use points earning to qualify for status.
I couldn't agree more.
