I have thought about requesting comped status for exactly the reason you mentioned but I have been wondering, if you get comped so you can take the odd flight with a much cheaper fare or more direct routing and during that year you don't earn status, do they comp you again the next year? For example if I am AA Plat and I get comped to bottom level elite with someone else just so I can take one or two flights with that carrier in that year, what are the chances they would be willing to do it again the next year? I know there is no rule but have you had any experience with this kind of scenario?
