Just curious if it's even worth it to just barely make it form Silver to Gold. Especially considering that so many Gold privileges kick-in at much higher tier points levels than the basic 800 required to make Gold:
Gold Upgrade for Two... 2,500 tier points
Executive Club Silver Partner Card... 4,500 tier points
Concorde Room Card... 5,000 tier points
I mean if you had 790 points would you bother going out of your way to make it to 800?
