Are you renewing yours? Or are you dropping it?
Why?
Dropping it. Just read their snail mail update and its simply the most confusing thing I've ever read, short of warning labels on highly toxic pharmaceuticals......
Its basically a discounted United Club membership card at this point. And just about every UC is filthy and crowded and just not worth it for me anymore.
I actually made myself laugh... 500 PQP for every $12,000 spent. Plat is 12,000 PQP. Therefore, getting Plat with PQP on the PP card cost $288,000 in spend. I could fly first class all year for that. Its just dumb. But even better, is that they now seem to allow 1K via PP PQP, which would cost $432,000 in spend. A downpayment on a Gulfstream.....
I'm FREE after years of caring about FFPs
There simply ZERO value in the PP card now.
