If you have to travel that route for another purpose it may be worth the investment, but if you already have 50K PP on NH metal I suggest trying to obtain the PPs more cheaply on another *A carrier.
That's what i said. And if the frequency reported is true it is not a good use of money. Much better uses for the money then something you'll use a few times a year when you already are treated well. If you have that much money that $1200 is meaningless you don't play these games anyway
