And you're aiming for MM as well, right?

You are absolutely right. The thread was started by Sean Peever in March.

And I requalified in June as per the thread.

Mods, I suggest merging the 2 threads.

In the past, I usually requalified in June. This year, I only requalified now, and I'm going to end the year at about 130K. One of my lowest AC years, while being my most-flown year overall. Nearly 300K!

That speaks to the topic that Dorian and others have raised in which they wonder about incentives to fly with AC beyond achieving SE status. May I ask: where have you directed your custom, and did it have to do with a lack of incentive to remain with AC, made more sense to use other carriers, or neither/both of the above?

I crossed zero miles way back in January, then again in June, and most recently on September 31. If figure I still have time for a mileage run to get to SE.




I don't think anyone has any idea how much I truly enjoy these threads. Reading them just makes be feel so warm and fuzzy.

Threshold gifts also 'sell out' so there is no guarantee that you will actually get the gift you want other than what is left

Right, it gets especially bad if you cross the thresholds after October 31st.

When they removed the FP gifts altogether, it was a huge downgrade, IMHO.

They did have some great FPs. I agree with that.

I actually didn't go for any other status... flew the cheapest, used some points, flew Etihad Residence, flew whatever fit schedules... Was a good and fun year.

Thanks for finding that thread - its title was not consistent with the previous years' titles which is why I could not find it so I just copied the format from previous years, figuring out that someone might know where to go. As I suggested in my OP I agree with merging the threads. Maybe keep my title though? No pride of ownership but just thinking ahead to 2019/2020 - perhaps consistency counts
