Who: VP of North American Sales for an LED manufacturer.

When: Qualified for 1K the first week of June and hoping to get GS next year with over $50K in spend on UA.

How: Typically book 3 months out, always in FC if it's available. BIS was almost double last years with 131K, 126 flights, all for work except for a couple of RTs with the wife for vacation.

Where: BOS, ORD, DEN, IAH, IAD, PIT, CLE, SFO, LAX, SEA, PDX, MIL, MSP, MIA, CVG, BUF, ALB, ATL, ATW, LAS, FFL, RNO, SMF, MKE.

Why: I like the ability to take the wife on a nice trip in FC and not have to pay for her. Also treated a bunch of friends to upgrades as they all have no status. Will also be taking a trip to Italy with friends and family and will be covering everyone on a FC RT ticket with miles and upgrades.

What: Will most likely have around the same spend next year if not slightly more PQD and PQM.
