Trip Report: UA Mileage Run for 1K
Not sure if this is the right forum or if anyone cares, but here's a blog I wrote about my recent mileage run on UA to secure 1K.

Also, OP may have attained 1K previously not using his own money, but using 2 GPUs on MR may theoretically raise the "cost" of MR since GPUs have intrinsic values.
Nonetheless, congrats again on your first MR, OP.

congrats to OP. Agree with you 100%, experience may not have been so dashing if OP was riding E+.

A run like yours is a much easier decision with GPU's already in pocket. I'll just have to man up and take the extra trip to Asia next year to upgrade my status.
