Who: I am Sales Director for a billing software company. When I'm not flying, I spend as much time with the family and 4 year old black lab.
When: 12/18/18 - made Platinum on a flight from Omaha to Toronto, finished the year with ~80K PQM and $10,500 PQD
Where: 95% US destinations (all over) plus a few trips to Toronto
How: 99% Work travel gets me platinum and almost $10k spend, usually have 1 or 2 personal trips
Why: Maintaining status is important for E+ seating and earlier boarding to ensure my carry on bag always stays with me. Probably a 25% CPU in 2018 which was nice
What: Goal is to maintain Platinum and maybe push to 1K. Most likely won't make the 1K due to the PQD requirements but may get close if my trips to Toronto increase in 2019
