But again, mileage spending rates are not good.
This is not true. You are referring to the old rules. The new rules went into effect on Oct 1, 2008. Now you only need 40K for Diamond which is *Gold and it is good for 2 years, plus the remainder of time on your 2-year qualifying period, so a total of possibly up to 4 years. If you joined today and took a full year to reach 40K, you'd get *G for 3 years.
