There are still options out there.

Peruse at your own potential peril.

I have to say I don't feel like I "wasted" my status too much. Still got 30+ nights in at Marriott properties where I am Titanium.

I am a DL Gold and that got me bumped to F on a BE fare on my only DL flight since March.

I have gotten a couple upgrades on routes as an AA plat.

Scored F the whole way on a ELP-SEA-EWR trip I took last month as a mere AS MVP.

What I miss more is not stressing about how to retain it all, and being on the road 200+ nights a year.

All that status, and planning etc was just part of the everyday hum of needing to be all over the place.
