If I have lifetime United plat, is it worth it to keep flying to get 1k annually or perhaps diversify and go American to build up status with AAdvantage / Oneworld? (NYC based)

I’d go with lifetime 1K

1K is worth a big bump over plat. I’d hit 1K and then diversify

like

Yea, I think you should stack points with United, especially given you start at plat.

like

Focus on other airlines so you have status regardless of airline or route

like

Unfortunately every year I'd have to start at 0 with United though. So I'd have to earn the full 1k requirement

You’re minimum 66% there for lifetime 1K, should be doable, or not?
