If I math correctly, 7300 PQP implies $146k spend that could have been $3800 cash back
. Are you going to get that much value from 40 PP and 146k UA miles? The answer may be yes, but you’ll have to work for it
like to travel in style, though perhaps not as often as others. I don’t purchase tickets—I always use miles instead. Honestly, it feels like a big deal because every time I travel, it’s in Polaris or Lufthansa business class, and I’m not paying for it.
Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to experience Lufthansa first class yet. I did have a ticket once, but while I was in the lounge in Frankfurt, they refunded me 800 euros and downgraded me to business class.
Also I like to show off with my "status" :-))))
I don't see that huge benefit in global services vs 1k or maybe I am just clueless.
