I paid for the boost because I think it will work for me. I am going to have to make numerous DCA-LGA day trips and like the option of changing flights although I have not had too much problem doing so in the past. I also like the 80% bonus and not having to use stickers. I think platinum pro will probably be better this year than next because it will only consist of those paying for the boost.
I paid for the boost using my Barclays Silver card which should entitle me to 3 miles per dollar spent. I went on the Barclays website and it indicated that I am only earning 1 mile per dollar spent. I called Barclays about this issue and they are going to research it and get back with me.
