300? I’d be real tempted to do a mileage run for that

like

$300 is worth it in the free baggage alone. I’ve only flown once this year and have been upgraded to first with Gold status

likefunny

Already get 2 free bags with gold tho. Not sure I’d ever need 3

I think you get some plus points as platinum, which might be worth it.

Both gold and plat board group 1, so that’s a wash.

like

This, the plus points are the real prize.

That said, I’ve been successful with upgrades as gold this year too. Travel’s still light

I’m about $300 short in PQP on a promo. Not sure it’s worth a special trip just to make platinum until Jan 2023.

I’ve been getting upgrades with gold except for cross country flights.

How are you getting upgraded with gold and I’m routinely below 10th on the list as 1k lmao

Based in Chi

I’d probably do it. You’ll have that much better shot of upgrades when travel picks up again. And you can probably get your money back with the plus points.

D1 I'm only Silver so if you have +P send it my way lol

I'd do a mileage run or weekend trip for $300. I was in a similar boat before and spent Memorial Day in San Antonio so I could get 4 extra segments to bump me to the next tier.

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
