E+ is usually down to middle seats at check in, I never check a bag, and since I fly out of DCA and now have the TSA Pre-Check, is the 25% up tick in award miles worth it?:confused. :
If that were the pricing to go from Gold to Plat (and I only had that much to go), I'd seriously consider it. But given that UA is trying to hit me up for $1899 for the additional 10k PQMs I'd need to hit Plat, no thanks. Too bad I flew so much on AA last year, or I'd be within 2k PQM and would probably just cash in 20k choice miles to get over the hump.
