Ouch!
That's close...
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.
Fair enough. Of course, you could have taken one more vacation sometime in 2012 and requalified...
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.
Makes sense. For me, one of the big benefits of 1K was being able to upgrade other people (e.g., spouse, family). You can't let someone else "borrow" UDU after all.
Had it been something reasonable like $500 I woulda jumped on it.
Well, yeah, but who wouldn't?
