Before switching to AA, weigh your UA multi-MM status, and whether it might still be worthwhile to "tough it out" as a 1K, depending on how long you anticipate flying on OPM (other people's money).
Thanks exactly what I am thinking. I’ve been 1k or GS for the last 12? years— but some of that from back in the day when I was making 1k as a 100 segment domestic guy. So I don’t have that many BIS miles.
I’m over a million but barely and at this point in my career probably won’t see 2 MM
I’m 90% committed to going back to American …. I flew out of Philly when USAir was in Star Alliance and then basically flipped to United. Star alliance works well for me
But $50k consecutive years that didn’t yield GS = I’m going to split my spend. And it will give me better options — if I can’t upgrade a miles ticket anyways then at least I can shop around.
thanks for the thoughts—- it confirmed what was in my head basically.
