I'm in basically the same exact boat. But how are you getting your 9 flights for only $1646? mine looks like $1975. $219.40 apiece. Costco?

I haven't used any discount codes yet, so it might reduce my cost a little bit more. I'm thinking about using my Cap One Venture points to reimburse me for the purchase, so that will come down to about $500 out of pocket. Plus i'm sitting on $328 worth of AA gift cards that I bought at a 9% discount on plastic jungle.
Still can't decide if i want to pull the trigger...i have no status, so all of my flights will be in the back, and i have some weekends i'm leaving on friday night and returning on sunday after 3 roundtrips. The longest wait i have in SFO is 3.5 hours, so that ain't bad. But the draw is I will definitely be able to use the EVIPs in the next two years, and I think that just by itself is worthwhile for this.
