Comped to CO PE. I'm not a bug hitter like some of yo but will log in around 40K BIS miles by end of March and at least 10K in April.
Hated what they did to SWU at 120K and 160K for me. Hated awards calendar nonsense. Hated $50 change fees after 2 for an award; this would be no big deal if awards were easy to get first time.. oh I think that was one of my points above.
As far as upgrades have only missed two ORD-IAH on one trip and IAH-ORD on another. CO actually gave a meal in coach on these sub 1000 miles flights and DL would have given me a Biscott if I made upgrade on DL for this distance. CO has great meals in FC IMHO on every flight I've taken including off hours flights.
My last flight on DL at end of year I was over 20 on upgrade list as a PE. ATL-ORD were those flights.
Did not renew SC membership and got PPC master card which gives me PC membership and several other bonus miles for every flight I take.
BTW four flights on UA sat in E+ on each one. Pretty good problem if upgrade does not come through starting in second quarter when free upgrades are available for CO on UA.
