We'll see. I have some TATL and EWR-BOM flights that I have GPU parked on but not granted yet. One return is in LH and I have the paper GPU. It looks like I'll not make the GPU this weekend over to FRA and the BOM flights are getting tighter on inventory. At that point I'll be 1/6 on GPUs. I don't consider my GPU 'clearing' if I get the EWR-DEN, but don't get the BOM-EWR leg. Sure, they take it, but pffffft.

I almost never get CPUs, and I fly a lot of RJs so they aren't even there to get. I might stick it out one more year to see if the spend limits thin the herd. The G1 lines boarding are silly long. The 757 on the Monday DEN-ORD run had 5 people clear which left 70 people on the upgrade list. The the buy ups and Day of travel offers, it just doesn't work out to be totally loyal like I need to be to get 1K.
