Question about qualifying
I travel weekly at about 2000 miles and 4 segments. At this rate I think it will take me about 23 weeks to qualify for platinum elite based on segments only.
That will mean, that I will have qualified, before the halfway point of the year.
However I will continue to travel weekly, and I want to know of what benefit is for me to continue on, once I have qualified. Apparently I derive absolutely no benefit until March of 2000, right? Am I way off here? Or could I possibly get added before next year as an elite. Is it possible to start lobbying for upgrades and such? The last half of the year is a long time and I could get platinum status on American if I wanted to, but I'd rather work with Continental.
