If I had to make a guess as to why this Benefit was cut back by AMA it is probably because of a large number of Members that apply as CDs , get the Benefit , and then don't do anything for it !! . I would check your clubs and see if you have any folks who have been getting this Perk and doing nothing for it. I think there have been many FREELOADERS abusing this . Unfortunately as with many things it only takes a few bad apples to ruin the barrel, I don't believe AMA would consider this kind of thing if there wasn't a significant amount of revenue involved. I for one CD and assist another CD in 2 or more events a year, I have never Used this Benefit, I do it for the good of the CLUB, and a Thank You will do just fine.

I also believe their are VPs and office members at the AMA who are milking their benefits as well. Nothing like taking a little Out of Town trip, stop off at one of the local fields in the town you are visiting and letting AMA flip some of the BILL.
