Is there any other wide spread program other than MM giving me Star Gold for two years? And MM requires 100k miles. Doing OW G in the US only I could reach 800 TP for BA with less than 2000 USD. 800 TP is 13,33 short segments in AA First and with instant upgrade this is not really a lot. Even if I do not want to suffer too much from AA I could do two transcon flights. With MM I require 100k miles and this requires me to fly 30k miles.
