What’s your distance? I was flying to Utah for 10 months from the east coast and make platinum easily and almost diamond

Segments ! Always segments !

I feel for those who earn top tier on segments. Miles for me.

^ you can earn status based on miles or segs. You also need minimum spend but that's usually the easy part. Both earn multipliers for higher fate class. I find miles much easier because the multiplier is 2-3x vs. 1.5x for segments.

Cross country 3 out of 4 weeks a month for me! Already hit the gold metrics for this year because of some personal travel

God bless BCG and their multipliers. My 1.0x multiplier doesn't help much ;)

Meanwhile, I’ve flown three weeks this year and am delta plat and randomly also AA gold through Jan ‘19. I guess they miss my service and don’t understand #locallife

Grinding. If you have clients all over the country that require your presence (“require" is the qualifier), you can rack up serious status. Your spouse won’t like it until you take them on a points paid for international trip. But in that moment, you are King. God Bless America.

D3 - if you buy first class you get points and segment multipliers

Because it’s a new year. Nov dec don’t matter. Your missing like all the data required. I fly coast to coast. Make it in like 4 months
