I've held ROP Gold for more than 15 years. That's it for me. I also hold an SQ Silver card, so from here on out, I will just accumulate miles there. SQ give 25% Gold bonus, so that's something.
I like to use awards in C class to LAX for myself and my wife.
TG: 340,00 miles r/t
SQ: 160,000 miles r/t for a saver award or 240,000 miles for a standard award - on TG!
I guess these two words apply to myself as well as many others:
1. Burn
2. Dump
