Between that and the PlusPoints (which I complained bitterly about never being able to use as 1K), have managed to use when it really mattered this year as Plat. So I am willing to make the investment, as is my family.

Whether I pay for it now or pay for it later, I'm still paying for it, whether it's now in one lump or later in smaller increments. At least with this approach I'll be a little higher on the upgrade list and to have my call answered...
