When/where are you flying to get upgrades at all. DM 5 yrs now and I’ll be lucky if I get out of row 47 on a flight I paid 500 for 3 weeks out.

Even my certificates expire today as I’ve been out of range of remaining seats since monetization kicked in full force

Yes to maintain Diamond Medallion, I would say yes. I would say the value of Diamond is being upgraded 99 percent of the time, year subscription to clear, free lounge access without needing a amex plat card, 4 global upgrade vouchers and no change fees on flight changes is worth the 4 days

How long did you stay in Asia for

I’m doing one to FL next week (1k mqms from diamond). Depends how much you value status. TPG puts plat @ $3k and diamond @ $6k in value
