If I'm in the 65,000 EQM and $7500-8000 EQD range for my planned trips by the end of the year, I'm wondering how much money and time I should put into moving up from Platinum to Platinum Pro. I'd love to hear the opinions of some experienced members. Thanks!

FYI, common routes traveled are between: MCI-DCA, MCI-MIA, MCI-CLT, MIA-TGU, MIA-STI, DCA-MIA
I don't personally have PP but I have a really good friend that does and from what he has experienced is that if you avoid major cities and especially hub to hub it will help. Not having to burn stickers is nice but he doesn't normally clear any major routes. Especially on weekdays. Luckily for you only one of those routes listed DCA-MIA I would consider a major route.
