Worth it to spend ~$1500 on flights to get the AA Executive Platinum challenge? Thinking about booking some flights to Asia to hit my EQMs. Or any suggestions for getting the most EQM for the dollar?

Just got the CSR so the Citi AA card bonus EQMs are off the table 😞

My cousin from Switz often flew Cle to Hawaii to Zurich for mile runs. Just an idea

Yes, go for Exec Plat. Regular Plat gets you status equivalent to air travel ten years ago

I'm going to Beijing for exp. one weekend of suck for a year of less-suck seemed worth it to me

Not worth $1500 out of pocket to me. Would be worth it if run was significantly less in economy and I could use an upgrade cert to biz class

I was offered a contractor role (~20 hours a week) at 90/hour. This is extremely attractive because it’ll double my income (and the tax deductions from 1099 are solid). With that being said, I also want to see what kind of conflicts I can see given that I’m at a B4 firm.

I get the whole “you can’t have a second job” thing and don’t care but I’m actually worried about causing major conflict of interest.
