Award flights typically don’t count towards status. Are you sure you aren’t throwing those points away?

OP So I’m assuming you did a Pay with Miles ticket then as opposed to an award redemption?

10 flight mileage run? I’m with K1. What a waste of time and money, status isn’t worth it

like

All points

And if they are credit card points, I’d treat those the same as cash. Make sure that status is really worth it to you.

I did the last minute flight scramble for status before. Now I look back and realize how ridiculous that was. Never again, amazing how that status gets in our heads

It was all points and I’ll probably won’t have a light project I could actually do for years again

Enjoy your trips OP! Make them fun!

As others said, if it's an award redemption, the miles and segments won't count on any US-based airline (not sure about others). If you booked less than 24 hours ago, go cancel now before you get charged.

I paid with miles, but is def worth it. I couldn’t get miles because I was flying between BOS and LGA. Starting the new year I’m flying to two clients a week which won’t be fun. But I least I get a decent break before it starts

3. Typically, with how many folks could I be splitting the fund? Read somewhere that you get 2% of the fund and you draw salary, office and travel expenses, legal fees and other operational cost out of this 2%

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
