But now with A+, anybody who would get 35-45 segments in a year through normal travel has to seriously consider it.
My strategy is to get A+ this year (I won't be grandfathered in). Thought about spending the 6K it would take in BS fares, but not for long. 50 segments would be much easier for me to achieve as I'll probably do 30 to 40 on my own (all WGA). So doing the segment runs makes sense. If I were close to LAX or LAS I'd be working over those 19.00 fares.
Think there was a 30/60/90 around Halloween last year? Have they traditionally done them at specific times of the year? Anyone remember?
