Uber driver dropped me off at the wrong terminal, so now I have to go through the peasant security line with all the Spirit and Frontier people. Don't they know that I'm a Delta medallion member???

I am now a Delta 💎 for 2017, Plat for 2018(don't expect to hit 💎), but moving to Chicago in 2018 so no more delta. Should I status match to united as a 💎 or wait till next year when I may be plat

Tired of AA bullshit... Best steps to take to maximize the chances of upgrades with Delta? 1st step will be a status match (Plat Pro with AA). Any and all useful advice will be greatly appreciated. 👍

Does American Airlines offer a status match for United Silver members? Any PwC specific offers?

Concierge Key/Global services/Delta 360... who has them and what did it take?

I'm looking to buy SkyMiles, need about 12-15k more to take my wife and son out of country, my son is having a medical procedure they won't do in the US. Anyone looking to sell, or recommendations?

Delta SkyMiles is so stingy the most aspirational award you can book on their partners is business class. Every other big program in the world let's you book international First. Feel bad for DL peeps

Inspired by the "United Silver Tag". Although I have the highest status, I put on the lowest status tag on my bag. I would get upgraded 100% on my international flights and others on the list (cont)

How does on get global services on United. Anyone figure out the threshold yet? Based on experience, it's not miles. If it's spend, and Platinum is $12K PQD, maybe it's $20K PQD?

Any tips/insight to get Global Services status on United? 1K for 2 years and would like to move up🌝

Can United silver upgrade award seats to Econ+ just like paid seats? Hard to find an answer to this

Forbes says there are 99 people with both Marriott and SPG Platinum (presumably pre-status match). That can't be right, or I'd be one of the 99... maybe they meant with lifetime platinum?

I'm starting to rack up a bunch of United miles, as I have to fly Lufthansa a lot these days (and credit to UA). Never had status with them. From what I see online, their top statuses (cont.)

Who wants to donate Delta SkyMiles to the "I work in Fed MC so I hardly travel and barely have any miles but I'm trying to take my wife to mexico" fund? Cool thanks everyone!

Can I do same day change on united, and then on the changed flight, do another same day flight change? United 1K

Noob question - if I have united silver, how do I also get my friend an economy plus seat after check-in if he booked the seat separately?

Option to get United miles (3750) or $75 gift certificate. Which one? Anyone know what the miles are worth in $$$?

Any other American Airlines peeps appreciating this EQM model. ....bye

Friends, does Hilton provide status match against Marriott or Hyatt status? Do they offer any corporate status challenge? What is the best way to get Hilton Diamond status?

Right now, I have the Southwest Rapid Rewards card because a) when I fly the family, Southwest works best for us (but travel for work is AA). I have 500K+ SW points. Also Hilton Diamond with about 300K points (had more but just redeemed a bunch for a family trip).

I hear about the Chase Sapphire Preferred, the AA Citi card that has a big annual fee but includes a lounge membership.

My goals are being met (free or cheap travel for family trips), but I wonder if I'm leaving money on the table and could be getting more out of my points earnings.

Any suggestions on what I should do differently or change with my strategy?

When you call UA to apply an RPU to a booking and what the rep actually does is put you on standby on a flight 10 hours earlier. WTF?!
