It's June...I've made Gold on NWA and half-way to Premere (2P) on United. I can probably make it to Platinum on NW or work on United and make it to Premiere Exec (1P). Any thoughts?
The answer to your question is it depends....If 75% of your travel is on airlines a and if you could acheive platinum by year end and the routes you generally travel are filled with platinum...then go for the platinum. However, if you may not get to platinum by the end of the year or if gold would generally get you the upgrade then go for the elite status on your alternative airlines!
