Actually, Brownsguy, you could qualify for Platinum and if you're not concerned with the miles, go to American and make their Platinum. That way, from the day you qualify for each, you are in the most favorable position for upgrades for the next year. I fly over 90 segments a year and I am more concerned about getting the upgrades than I am the miles. If it were me I would do 2 airlines. GO FOR IT!!!!! & WELCOME ABOARD FLYERTALK!!!!
