3. Is there anything else I need to consider here? Like, is there a complication for buying Maximizer miles when traveling in business class or anything else?
4. What would you do here?
1 - No, there are very few reasons to not link accounts (timing when one receives upgrades, for one)
2 - I believe you have to book CO itinerary, and I'm not sure if there are other requirements (only CO metal?)
3 - You can't select the amount of maximizer miles you want to buy, you are limited to some options based on how many miles you will be flying.
4 - I would link accounts for sure. Some people have reported you can buy maximizer eqm's without actually traveling, I would look into that.
