I never fly delta, but have a skymiles account. I’ve linked with my starwood account but haven’t seen any miles show up for my hotel stays. Any idea why?

Will be at 195k EQMs on AA after this trip. Don’t have anything else planned for the rest of the year. Worth a mileage run for those extra 2 systemwide? Thoughts?

How do GPUs work? If I am a United Silver member and am traveling to Europe with my wife, can I use someone else's GPUs to upgrade our economy tickets?

Just started this consulting gig. I have American Gold because ATK allows for an instant upgrade. American is also the most frequently flying plane from my home airport (there's almost no Delta Flights). Advice on next steps I can take?

Flying 🐠: I have 10k miles to go to earn next status level on Delta. MQD's are met. How will this shake out in 2018? Do I bring 2017 miles forward or have to start over again on 1/1/18?

Currently an AA platinum.. Should I keep going with AA or switch to United gold with the match.

How can I get into global services?

Flying to Asia for vacation. Should I use miles, or is it worth using Chase points to "buy" tickets to reach United 1k?

Best way to redeem a small amount of united miles? I have like 6k miles and never fly United. Was thinking of Marriott transfer despite the bad conversion rate

If I make United Gold by EOY ... how long does my status last?

Have to book 3 personal trips coming up all on delta. Is it worth opening a delta skymiles card or should I just use my chase sapphire rewards?

Hit 1M miles on UA! 6 long years and finally I don’t have to worry about airline status anymore! #StarAllianceGold4Life. Now the question is who do i “gift” my Global Services status to??!

Once you consistently earn >Silver status on United, is it better to move to the CSP or CSR credit cards instead of United MileagePlus?
