Hi.
I know that you need to fly 25,000 miles to qualify for Gold status. By year's end, I will have about 21,000 if I do no more flying thatn I am already scheduled to do. I found a good fare from JFK to SFO ($379.00) and am strongly considering doing a mileage run.
I just want to clarify that 100% of miles flown qualifies for Gold status even if it is a discounted economy ticket? my understanding form the website is that discounted economy gets 50% mieage for points purposes, but you get full credit for miles flown.
Also, in your opinion, is Gold Status worth it? There is no way I'll qualify for Plat. anytime soon.
Thanks! </font>
Do ISP-SJC (Islip to SJC) for around $250 ane get app 6400 miles (via BOS).
