I hope I posted this to the best forum.

Since I finance my own travel myself (self-employed), I always fly economy and seek lower costs.

I find myself being only one flight away (already booked for next month) from achieving Gold with Oneworld (AA).

I reached Gold with Star Alliance (air Canada) yesterday.

I wondered if anyone had ever reached Gold status with both alliances in the same year and any suggestion anyone may have to either make it more efficient or advantageous.

Should I try to focus on a single Alliance? It didnt seem that the extra perks/rewards from Gold to Platinum were worth the the effort and money on either AA or AC.


Thank You
