after some thinking, I might just bargain year over year for retention offers.
Does this offer lounge access that you don't already get with MP and *A Gold?
Trying to see the benefits over what you already get with MP Gold.
Free checked bags, waiver of some award change fees, some upgrades which would otherwise not be available to MP Gold?
So among these, the upgrades sound interesting but I'm guessing it just moves you a little higher in the queue, but not ahead of 1K elites, who also have difficulty getting CPUs out of hubs like SFO?
