For next year, I'll be joining your club of Platinums. However, this means that this year I will spend less of my own money for my work trips and save even more as I usually book the same fares for my wife (who will also then not get to 1K). She thinks that with all the money saved (we are talking of about $10,000), next year for the long domestic routes (ORD to the West Coast) I should pay for the difference of the price of Economy and First Class but not do it for the short flights. For the long haul international trips, the plan is to book Premium Plus and then hope that my good luck of TODs continue or hope that I find reasonable P fares. We'll see......
