I'm hoping for updated advice. My "Million Miler" balance is up to 650K (mostly via credit card purchases), so I'm closer.

As then, I fly 4-5 times per year,. I might fly more often if I had free luggage, faster mile accumulation, and at least a shot at discounted upgrades.

It was suggested that I do a challenge to try to make plat so I could accelerate my progress toward 1M. Is that still a thing?
