The 100K SE is the only Altitude status that's worth "chasing" at AC.
If one's travel pattern will fall short of 100K any way, price and itinerary are the two most important factors that I would look for.
No other Altitude status tier below the 100K SE is worth the extra effort to attain unless eUpgrade is the only form of payment available to fly in J.
