For NW there is a much greater pool eligible for comp/match to Plat, many people in our company get this, even some from mid-tier in other programs. In the end, even my 200k+ with NW year to date and a high portion in WBC was not enough to get 1K match on UA.

Well if you cannot get it at 200k I can see that I have a snows ball's chance in hell of getting it. I wish NW would do something for guys like us. I've suggested at the least, they could lower the mileage required for upgrades and we hit 100k. So we'd only need 5,000 miles v.s 15,000 miles for an upgrade - or something like that. At least there would be some carrot to keep flying them.
