My number one priority is getting to ExPlat to substitute my United 1K. For now, I will keep flying United all year, while getting enough Loyalty Points to get to ExPlat or at least Plat Pro, for the free upgrades (my routes are very leisure heavy, so always good chance for upgrades). The amazing thing this time is that I don't need to fly AA to hit ExPlat so I can keep enjoying easy upgrades with UA until I am ready to shift everything to AA. The beauty of having a place on a UA/AA hub.

At the moment, a couple reservations for All Inclusive Hotels in Mexico from Spanish Brands have gotten me plenty of Loyalty Points. Also, MS with he Citi AAdvantage MileUp at Kroger for 1,000 miles and 500 LP per VGC and we ll be there soon. What still amazes me, is that Rocket Miles will count towards Loyalty Points. It does work for me, as I am Marriott Titanium and almost about to hit Lifetime Platinum with them, so not interested in keeping Titanium really, after all the devaluations.
