I just sent off a real letter saying I was leaving US because 90% of my flying is on discounted fares. This made the decision easy on whether to go for real CP this year because the next 2 trips will take me over the top with last years carry over. I am now booking future flights on AA as much as possible and will make Gold this fall. I guess it is MRTC or RJs for me.
I am going to miss this board next year.
