Worth doing United status match or save it for later years when close to exiting Consulting? Just started working and have Platinum on AA.

Anyone knows how many points to upgrade from biz to first on Lufthansa (Europe to US) using United miles? Couldn't find online

I’m looking to do a status match challenge from Delta to United, but everything I find says that United will “release their status match details soon” for 2020. Is that typical for UA?

Has anyone done Delta’s reclaim status program? Lost platinum due to being local, and I can’t do another status match for 2 years. I’ll be traveling coast to coast til June if that makes a difference

Got AA Platinum through firm tie up, and doing BCG United Challenge. Possible just taking the status match on United using AA?

Anyone know a good way to cash out united miles (e.g. Amazon or Chewy vouchers)?

How useful is having United Silver status in getting upgraded?

I switched from American to Delta this year and earned 300k Delta MQM, will 175k of those rollover, and I will just have to meet the spend requirement next year?

Just signed up for AA earn status EQD’s. Based on this past year’s EQD, I would have qualified for the next level up. It says you can still earn status the traditional method. Seems like a no brainer

4500 miles short of making it to United gold. Should I just buy the miles to make it by end of year?

Last minute mileage run for Diamond status on Delta. Any ideas for 5000+ MQM trips from DC??

I have 90K chase, 50k Amex points and 45k American miles. Never redeemed my points. What’s the best usage that I can get out of these?

Hopefully a little pick me up. Giving pluspoints upgrades for United, DM me record locator and last name. (Not eligible on reward tickets). Hope all of you have a happy holiday, be kind to yourself.

Any way to buy EQM’s on AA? will be 2500 short of executive platinum and no way to fly the rest of the year.

I won’t re-qualify for EP this year, what’s my strategy for next year to maximize what I currently have? Status match to UA or DL? My home base is ORD.

Will AA reduce the fee to upgrade to platinum pro if I get closer? For example I’m 60k EQMs now and offer is $1750 to upgrade to PP. if I get to 70k eqm will the upgrade fee be reduced?

Where to go for a quick 1-day mileage run?

Got the call for United Global Services invite for 2020! Better than this year when I barely made it with email in late Jan..

Delta has sent me an offer to open a Skymiles platinum AmEx and get 80K bonus miles. Annual fee $195. Worth it? (I already have five credit cards none have fees tho.)

Screwed up and waited too long to accumulate miles for a return flight back from Japan after the Olympics. Was planning on burning 35k Alaska miles after I saw there were 10 economy award flights....

Today’s points adventure: Will be about 1,000 MQM short of 150,000 on American (you get 2 SWU or 40,000 points for reaching 150k). Only travel left is an award flight booked for the holidays...cont’d

Anyone else see their AAdvantage account miles/dollars/ status drop this morning? Last night it showed me Platinum Pro; this morning it shows me as Gold with only 738 miles traveled.
