Agree.
I've been 1k for the past two years. That gave me 12 GPUs.
Last year, I threw all 6 in the garbage because of lack of R availability.
This year, I will throw 4 in the garbage and I have used two for SFO_BOS, also because of lack of R availability.
I don't ever get upgraded anymore with UDUs, so what's the point?
I'm done with this 1K B.S. It's just a scam. The GPUs are useless, the UDUs rarely happen (and if it does, it's for SFO-LAS or some bogus flight like that), and platinum gets me my economy plus exit rows just the same.
I'm just done with this whole airline mileage thing. It's not worth it anymore.
