Also the true sign of success is when you don’t have status with any airline or hotel.... that is my goal

Congrats! Gold is where the good stuff begins. Been gs for years which I will lose this year (mixed feelings - home more but boy it’s good to be the king). Lifetime plat now but I am at the tail end of my career and you sound like you’re just beginning Enjoy the perks and I hope you get a year or so of gs at some point. Any longer than that will mean you’re killing yourself travelling!

Consultant for 5 years and I got gold 4 weeks ago. The perks of gold are nice but obviously the higher tiers are better.

Always a good feeling. I’m getting plat next week. Pretty pumped

If you are not doing long hauls hitting the tiers without a fast track promo is painful. Good for you OP, every step counts!

I think you get status just for having the Amex Platinum? Make sure to integrate all of the loyalty programs to all of the other loyalty programs so you get at least the lowest level status for several of the hotel/airline/car programs that interconnect perks
