Sorry for the very elementary question but this is the first time i have had to deal with a domestic upgrade situation as gold and this would be the first place to turn.
They are giving GOLD away, when I have to fly more miles to acheive the status now? I would have been Plat this year if it wasn't for the change in Fares and having to use my company's travel website utilizing the 50% EQMs.
This is almost shocking to me. Why is the centurian card getting people free Gold Status?? This sounds a bit over the top for any airline.
