Odd offer: Insta-jump from Gold to Platinum?
I reached Gold late last year (my first status ever, woot!) and a couple of days ago, I received an interesting email from AA.
Basically, it offered me the ability to instantly jump to Plat status for a lump sum of $1199. Now, I doubt I'll have enough sustaining flight activity in the next 12-13 months to keep Gold going past early 2017, so I'm obviously not looking at this offer with 100% seriousness.
But, I'm curious: Has anyone else received offers like this before? All context aside, is this even worth it? OR could you easily reach Plat for less than $1199 on your own?
Thanks!
