COVID extensions excepted, it's been years since anyone has re-qualified for $2K or $3K, unless you mean by also spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on UA credit cards, which is just as possible in 2025 as it is in 2024. I also question the logic: if you're spending "hard-earned money" to requalify for status, why would you be glad that UA is going to charge you more for the same benefits you got last year?

I could potentially trip over the threshold again next year, given that I've given both AA and DL a look in the past two years and neither one of them seems particularly more useful for my needs. But continuing to raise prices whilst simultaneously reducing the service provided -- advanced PZ space is increasingly difficult to find -- seems like an odd business model to me. If that's whining, so be it.
