I disagree with the reisha and am shocked at the seifa. I think the points are well worth it. But, if you really are getting upgraded that frequently, then you have a strong point.

BUT - here's another way of looking at it:
If you are getting upgraded that often, at some juncture the points catch up with you and you will be sorry you don't have those extra 25%.

All in all, as someone who is on the TLV-NYC-TLV line quite frequently, I think PL is very worthwhile and worth going a little nuts to get. Not sure I would throw $2,000 at 300 points; that I have to think about.
