Best use of my platinum status is being able to book tickets on miles and then cancelling for no fee. Also the platinum gift is nice. So all in all, I think it’s worth it to go for platinum if you can find a pretty cheap ticket to get you 1,000 MQMs

Agree w Bain 1 - enormous benefit to book miles tickets and redeposit without fees...

Round trip to DCA is about 1000

I haven’t noticed a big difference between gold and platinum - although I may have a skewed view being based in ATL. They’re both sky priority and I don’t get upgraded much as a platinum. I guess you get immediate access to comfort+ seats and you can redeposit award miles if you cancel. The access to comfort+ is nice, but I usually can’t get a window/aisle when I book anyway

Do a quick northeast turn. Use Google Flights.

Yes! You are higher on the upgrade list. And you also get platinum gifts. Do it!

Shuttle to bos or dca. Easy peasy

Call and ask for it. They may well make an exception

Silver -> Gold is big
Platinum -> Diamond is big

Gold -> Platinum is good, but not nearly as big as the other two.

I'd base it on how much you'll fly next year, would the rollover miles to next year possibly help you hit diamond? Or not likely? I'm also out of Atlanta so it's really only Diamonds getting upgraded. I'd do whatever works best for you strategically in the next year

Is there not a 500 mile minimum at that level? If so, you could take any flight. Find the cheapest one and go!

Orlando is usually a real cheap flight from anywhere

Yes, worth it; shuttle flight to Bos? chic? dC?
