This year seems to be the year of the road trip for me, so I used the lounge in Feb. I have one more flight scheduled next week where I suppose I could use it, but the lounge on the return would be PP that I already have. AF just posted a week ago for the platinum. I'm not quite to 13 mo for a retention offer. And the next flight after that is Dec. Just gets harder and harder to justify that $695 fee for me with all the hoops I'm jumping through. AF on the CSR won't hit until January, so I have time to see how it shakes out I guess. The only reason I'm considering a PC on the Plat to Green is so I could PC it back to Plat if I ever needed it. I do think I'll keep the Gold for now. Have the Chase Trifecta already, so I'm hoping the changes keep the 1.5x thing for travel booking. Might need to start using those points in the meantime.
