No United status since I haven’t traveled in ages but I have 84k miles racked up there. Only 14k miles with American but new company is offering AAdvantage Gold. Should I keep building miles with United or switch to an AA loyalist? Based in Chicago. Thanks in advance!

Take the AA gold and start building towards Plat Pro and EP.

84k on United can still get you plenty of places.

United in/out of Chicago gives you a lot of options. Check out American's Advantage program to see if it works for you. I am Exec Plat and with the new revamp it doesn't feel the same since they traded a butts in seats for dollar based rewards
