24 X $300 is not more than $6,000 for Gold? Seems like it to me.
Or Silver? Nothing?
Their only criteria is spend (vs. segments, with minimums, e.g. AAdvantage)
But it seems like much more than Silver or Gold, math-wise.
The problem with AC as an alternative is that it's AC and has limited or no Premium Economy.
That all said I choose not to entertain all these "elite" levels and just buy J or PE on whoever has the best mix at the time of refundability, seat size, lounge access, and fast track access, whether it's Copa, AC, WS, AA, Copa or Avianca for my non Asia travels.
Then it doesn't matter.
For two dozen flights a year I'd get a credit card that gives free lounge access and not reply on them at all, frankly. Or the PP $399 US membership.
Gets it down to 10 or 11 bucks a visit.

12 x $300 bought return tickets, it is an average. sometimes I lucked out into a promo or sale and it was in the low 200$. That said PP comes with amex plat. But when i'm on the move low boarding zone, and lounges are important. Star G gives me a lot more flexibility than Teal. So the calculus becomes simple. That said I am on WS this weekend to round out the year.
