What do people mean by segments?
Segments
Nov-Dec flights are irrelevant. It’s only been 3 months (13 weeks). Which countries are you traveling to?
Alt Travel is key. So is having at least one international flight
International.
M2: can you explain the multiplier you speak of.. Is it an airline program or BCG?
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 ;)
