Unless you have unique requirements (such as a million miler with partner sharing benefits), or you expect your travel will ramp up next year, then hard to see how this will be worthwhile but only you can make that (value) judgment.
A few things in here yes. I don’t have 9700 in trips planned, but have the budget to do so if I really justified it. I enjoy the travel and have the flexibility enough for a few random places. I love to run my own marathon/half in new cities drinking beer along the way.
My potential next career move internally would likely ramp my travel back up.
I’m just over 500k miles so million miler is a ways off but still in the back of my head.
