If I end the year with 95k EQM on American Airlines, will American allow me to purchase up to Executive platinum? Do they have anything like that

Yes, but it’s probably a lot cheaper to fly 5,000 miles. Probably $2000-2500 to buy up

Definitely worth it over platinum pro. My weekly route I get upgraded 90% of the time. Took an overseas vacation and used my SWU to fly in biz for $600 on a 12 hour flight.

You earn more miles, you can check more bags, the agents are more helpful in IRROPs, you board sooner, etc. Definitely worth a Saturday of doing a mileage run to get.

Fly NY TO SFO and back. 5000 miles for $500

Yeah never seen it for less than 2k. It doesn't matter how close you are, to them it's about the benefits they will extend you for the next 14 months as result of the status.

Definitely cheaper to fly the remaining 5,000 miles than buy up. SFO-JFK is 5,160 miles round trip, or you can find some other routing that will get you the miles you need.

Is it worth it over platinum pro?

Definately worth it if you are that close

For 5k EQMs I’d say this is a no-brainier. If you are based in SFO, take a round trip to MIA, it’s usually only $180 in each direction for a Friday night red-eye, Monday return.

Yea turns out I’ll only be st 90.5k EQM. If I upgrade my current flight to premium economy I’d get another 10k

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
