Getting the little milage bump (I think something like 11 x fare) at booking is nice but you get a bump at Plat as well.
Yeah... the mileage bump is definitely nice. I'll only be Gold next year, but the miles I did get this year were boosted significantly because of that bump. I now have enough miles for two round trips in Business Saver because of it. I'm thinking maybe Ecuador to see the Galapagos Islands.
