I'm open minded about trips with some business benefit but given the <SE enhancements, I'm unconvinced that 75K would give me enough benefits (vs 50K) to justify an 11,000 mile MR. Interested in all the discussion here.
E75K helps a lot on North American upgrades. I say this having a 50% rate for my 4 attempts as E50K
Especially next year, when E50K may not even attempt any international upgrades due to the co-pay.
Is it worth a MR for 11k? Probably not. Is it worth an extra segment here and there at no extra cost? Maybe. But if that doesn't work for you, then I guess not.
