Hi Folks. *A Gold here via UA, but next year with a new job I will be flying probably over 100,000 miles on CO and almost none on UA. I've already used my once per a lifetime status match with CO.

Is it worth being lower in the upgrade priority list by sticking with UA to get the matching miles?

Or should I just suck it up, flash my *A Gold card to try to get upgrades but book the miles on my CO#, where I have zero status?

Help!

Thanks much.
