Is it worth it the difference between silver and gold in your opinion? I typically take about 70-80 flights a year domestically as I do consulting, but I’m not 100% loyal to an airline (if price is right). It I do like United the best and tend to take it much more.

if I spend another $700 I could make Gold by upgrading to first class on a a couple flights this year and paying for bonus PQP on anything left. I do travel internationally for pleasure a couple times a year, so that’s part of what’s making me think it might be worth it. I’m a newbie so any help is appreciated!
