Let's sit down in the coffee bar, drink some absinthe and ruminate on this. In the grand scheme of things, Premier Gold is nothing special. I mean, you have to fly 60 segments, or 50,000 miles and slip $5,000 into Jeff's back pocket. No big deal. And to the extent it
is a big deal to some flyers, their falling by the wayside makes Gold—indeed,
all elite levels—more valuable. Yeah, your Auckland sojourn is problematic, but all is not lost. You'll find a way to make the fly and spend thresholds in 2014 and you'll be Gold through 2015. I believe in you. ^
RNE, not in your boat—thanks to the Presidential Plus card—but who knows how long that will last?
