The 2 RPUs are really the main differentiator now, and they usually only clear on flights I would have CPUed anyway. I'm going to end the year with about ~97k PQM and ~6.7k PQD+cc waiver, so I'm not exactly stretching for Plat, but there's a good chance this affects my travel next year. Oakland is a much more convenient airport for me than SFO, and my upgrade % on AS is 90+ so that's a good option
It might also be worth looking into other *A airlines to credit flights to after hitting 50k. Anyone have any favorites?
