Is it worth a 12K mileage run to hit Exec Plat on American? Out of Dallas so worried status won’t mean much.

How much international travel will you be doing? 12k is a lot but the systemwide upgrades might be worth it alone

you can easily get that with a flight to hong kong for cheap. i personally see exp benefits valuable flying out of main hub, flying weekly and just being able to have more flexibility than other status without paying BUT if youre not going to travel often enough, its not worth it

On my weekly route I’m upgraded 90% of the time (dfw to non-hub, mid major city). 12k EQMs would seem very worth it to me.

Absolutely

You’ll be worse than garbage at dfw if you’re not EP

Help! I recently purchased a wanna get away ticket through Southwest for a business trip that was about $850. I was asked to cancel the trip due to other work issues in my local area. As luck would have it, there's a strong possibility that I landed a great new job and they need me to start right away. The credit is under my personal rapid rewards account. Ideas to help me avoid writing a big check to my company??
