That's a lot of money for status. I was able to get Silver for over $300 less than that last year.

Your numbers work out to 5.5 cents per mile before bonus and 3.7 after.

Tough call, but I'd consider finding domestic runs to maintain my status for less money. That way you'd keep status and travel more.
