I also looked at a few circle trips of like TPA-ATL-SFO-JFK-TPA which all ended up being about $.10cpm. So the question is is it worth $3,000 and 3 TATLs or 4 of those circle trips to get gold status until you can start flying on the company dime?
Thanks for the detailed feedback! Well, I can probably use some of those destinations to minimize my personal expense and set up meetings. 3k personally is not worth it - but I have to go to NYC anyway and could def setup something in SF thats relevant - so a circle trip plus something else would get me much closer. CPH and AMS are also good destinations for me.

PS thank you everyone - this is why i love FT even though I mostly lurk
