Is there a link to this promo still? I recall seeing it and registering as I knew I had a couple VX flights on the horizon. Now I actually want to read it (again), but pay closer attention to the info.
Searched VX website for promo stuff but cam up empty.
Thanks

Looking for thoughts/comments: I'm 15,000 points away for Gold again (didn't travel as much this year) and thinking about spending $1,500 for a flight to retain Gold status. I travel in the west region and flights are under 2.5 hours. I usually get upgraded to MCS and like the free snacks. Is getting Gold worth the extra hard earn dollars? Would you do it? Not sure how to calculate the value.
Thanks n

Thanks Anteater!!! Much appreciate you posting the Feel the Burn link.....
As for as you inquiry spending $ to retain Gold, go for it... But staying on the west cost for the travels will take some planning I'm sure... I'm planning to move a trip up to beat the Nov-19th deadline. In the home stretch for Gold myself. Off to Orlando on Sunday and Boston by the end of the week.

Anyone else cashing in on this promo to retain Elevate status?
I had to change trip around completely once I started asking client about their flexibility. I ended up going to Portland last week and not Boston. Tomorrow I'm off to Ft. Lauderdale as Orlando is off as well. Will be picking Boston up next week and I'm holding off with Orlando until after Thanksgiving.

Mine have been posting simultaneously with my normal flight points and gold bonuses (i.e., three of the big dots with X points each show up 3-4 days after the flight).

But I understand now - you meant during the promo, because we would get 5 bonus status points for a total of 10 per dollar.
I too am hoping for an end of year status promotion. I'm close to gold (have been gold the last few years) but might not make it.
