yeah I was about 5k+ short of 1K...

no way I am going to pay $2199 for 1K...Plat serves me just fine. I'm 2/2 on upgrades so far thins year.

If I fly international I buy business class anyways so an upgrade to First isn't that big a deal (although was really nice the two times i flew it last year)

And I'm 100% on domestic upgrades last year so not worrying about it this year

the enticement for 6 GPUs and 2 RPUs is there to lock in an upgrade on the flights that seem to be closer to full in First to begin with but not worth the $2199 they are asking.

Had it been something reasonable like $500 I woulda jumped on it.
