Program comparison Year-End Roll-Call
 
I thought it might be a good idea to compare what folks did throughout the year with various programs. Here is my summary:

American Airlines
YTD Elite Qualifying Points: 102,144
YTD Elite Qualifying Miles: 152,402
YTD Gold / Platinum Qualifying Segments: 101

British Airways
3 segments - Miles credited to AA

America West
1,500 miles and 3 segments

Southwest
2 segments

Alaska Airlines
1 segment - miles credited to AA

United Airlines
1 segment: 500 miles

Hertz
40 rentals

Marriott
83 nights

Starwood
55 stays/92 nights

Hilton
5 nights

Priority Club
3 nights

Best Western
1 night

Edited since people did not like the idea.

The $$ spent part seems a little gauche, doncha' think? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Is that what you spent, or your employer?

"Tacky" was my first impression, but I can go with "gauche".

I have to ask.... am I the only one who does not track my spending on travel?

I am grateful for whatever gets paid for by Kodak... and means I have to spend less for status. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I guess, once the travel is over, I have no need to track what the trip cost me.

Am I alone there?

I do keep track of travel costs for tax purposes but generally don't share the info. Gauche, is that like Rive Gauche? A good place to live!

Wharvey, no, I don't keep a running total on travel costs either. (I don't wanna know!!!). I carefully size up individual trips for costs because I take great pride in seeing how MUCH I can do with as LITTLE as possible.

I track mine in a stack of receipts right up until it goes on the expense report. Then I track to make sure the money shows up in my bank account. Beyond that I don't care. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
