I keep forgetting to take mine.

Back on topic, as a NYC based PM this is not so good for me. Domestically I mostly fly JFK-SFO/LAS with a couple of short hops here and there. Most of my flights are international. I never took SWUs or fly to Hawaii so no impact on me. The only reason I fly DL internationally is to maintain status for upgrades domestically. Not sure it's worth keeping PM status for 4-5 JFK-LAS RTs per year. Maybe gold or maybe nothing. I have boat loads of miles so maybe I'll just get as much value from status in 2014 as I can and become a free agent, or maybe a go for a status match.
