This is a very personal decision and depends on what you value and desire

Award flights - have limited availability

What is the redeem rate (cents per mile) you are seeing?

What would you do with the miles otherwise?

What status would you earn?

If Silver, what benefits do you value? ANd is there a cheaper way to get those (credit cards, E+ subscription, ...)
