I'm currently at 46,638PQM and have a trip coming up that will get me 1846PQM. I'm not sure if I should try and do a mileage run to try and hit Platinum or just do an additional flight to reach GOLD. In my upcoming trip that will get me 1846PQM, I have a mileage purchase offer of an additional $150USD + 500USD to get 6000PQM? Is that worth it?
To give you a background on my travel, I am a YYC based mileage plus member and can generally fly out of any CAN or USA city if a mileage run is required. I make a yearly trip to DEL or BOM in J and some random travel in-between that.
Thanks in advance all!
Just a note that you can try to use SDC to stretch for the extra 1500mi., but if you have only one more trip (and if it's ORD-SFO, as I guess) that is unlikely to be successful. You can also make a booking for a shorter flight to see if you get a mileage purchase offer that is closer to 2000 and therefore cheaper. Then cancel the booking within 24 hours.
