I don’t think I’d go that far either. I’ve been UA (started with CO) Plat for over a decade now and I neither travel for work nor am I retired. I just really like traveling.

With all of the promos going on this year, I will hit 1K on UA on my return flight Tuesday.

yes, I know I’m “not normal” but I’m not crazy, my mother had me tested .
