Sounds like you should stick with PP.

As someone who does some int'l travel, the historical answer is "oh, yes, the SWUs are definitely worth it". But you don't do int'l, and the UA world seems to be changing.

I'm pondering similar things: I'm a 1K with ~100k to go for 1MM. With a 25% hit rate on SWUs this year and somewhat decreased travel overall, I'm contemplating not pushing hard for 1K this year and instead making do with 1P or PP next year and counting on hitting 1MM soon.

Maybe I should even take AA up on their offer of a match. See if the grass really is greener.
