That's a fair question. I'm just shy of 53K right now and literally 10 minutes ago was trying to look at the Plat benefits to see what it was worth. But what is my alternative, to gain status on another airline? I might as well just get my 75K and if I need to go for a status match elsewhere, then I will.
