Will have to do one miles run on united this year to hit platinum. Roughly 300 PQPs short, is platinum even worth it? The benefits from gold to plat seem negligible

I'd do it. 1 upgrade could make the effort worthwhile. Being ahead of all the gold members helps.

It is fairly negligible, though you go from 0-1 upgrade to likely 2+. I would see if you can add a weekend trip or upgrade to J for an existing itinerary, but I wouldn’t go too far out of my way

Same problem but with 1k. Met the spend quota, but may end up with 4-5 segments short

40 pluspoints alone are worth $300, plus you get IN access

Great point about the plus points. What is IN access?

Has anyone ever done aggression training for their dog? Met with a trainer who basically wants us to either keep our dog crated or on a leash at all times and said no pets or play time for now. Our dog has been acting out ever since we brought home our newborn and also bit our groomer. Trainer has me terrified that the dog will hurt the baby but my heart is breaking that I can’t give any “love” to my dog right now. Any similar experiences or thoughts?
