With all the business travelers today, I have always wondered why there isn't another level above Platinum for the true road warriors. My guess is that it's better to keep a bigger group of people somewhat happy than a selective few very happy.
It just doesn't seem fair that I travel every week (to 1 or 2 cities regionally)and I am a platinum; while my aunt who travels to Asia 4 or 5 times per year for leisure is also a Platinum.
Any thoughts?
But there is another level: it's called AA EXP or United . . . well you follow.
I hit Platinum in February with 76k and moved to AA. Once I hit 100k with AA, I finish off DL (which I started in April) to become Platinum. I'll probably switch to United in September or thereabouts. I don't see any point in sticking with Continental past 75k.
