Is an American Airlines status challenge worth it? | Question of the Week Ep21 | 11-2-26
Is an American Airlines status challenge worth it? Reader Jordan wrote in, asking:I recently was given an American Airlines Status challenge through my employer where I am given 4 months of Gold and challenged to earn as many loyalty points as possible and keep gold status or higher for the 2027 status year. Here are the objectives in loyalty points:Gold - 10,000Platinum - 25,000Platinum Pro - 50,000Executive Platinum - 100,000 I usually have around 2-4 work trips per year and 3-4 personal trips per year. Unfortunately, I book work trips through the travel portal with their designated card.I have never had status with an airline before and this seems to be an easy way to jump into this side of the game. For this being my first time, I am shooting for Gold and if I can figure out a way into platinum or higher I would be over the moon.What are your guys' opinions on this status challenge?Question of the Week: Is an American Airlines status challenge worth it? - Double-check the terms: often keep only 4 extra months - First, it depends on how often you fly AA. You mention 2-4 work trips and 3-4 personal trips. How many of those are on AA? - Second: Are the benefits of Gold (or Platinum) worth the effort? - How could you complete it?Subscribe and FollowVisit https://frequentmiler.com/subscribe/ to get updated on in-depth points and miles content like this, and don’t forget to like and follow us on social media.Music Credit – “Ocean Deep” by Annie YoderCheck out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Network, a collection of some of the world’s best travel podcasts.

At the end of this discussion, they took some questions from the audience, which we've consolidated for our "Question of the Week" episode this week. - Would you spend Bilt Cash to pay a mortgage (if you had a mortgage to pay)? - How is rent actually paid to a landlord (through Bilt)? - There was an announcement that Bank of America points will transfer to Alaska Atmos at some point in the future, which makes some think Bilt may be cut off as a transfer partner.

Should I use points for business trips? | Question of the Week Ep19 | 10-19-26

Download Saily from your app store and use our code FREQUENTMILER at checkout to get 15% off your first purchase. https://saily.com/frequentmilerShould I use points for business trips? Brian wrote in with this question, asking:How do I handle bookings when my small business pays for the flight? I have never used points/miles to book a business trip because it feels like I’m using up my personal miles for what would be a legitimate business expense (even though I earned many of those point/miles from business travel). Every once in a while, I see a very good redemption opportunity but don’t take it because I don’t know how to value those miles as a business expense - if it’s a cash booking it’s very straightforward. But this seems like I may be unnecessarily hurting the business by paying more in cash. How do you think of points/miles in this situation? This could apply to hotel points and FNAs as well. - One option is to assert a value for your pointsFind our RRVs here - Business pays base rate & you use personal points to upgrade or copaySubscribe and FollowVisit https://frequentmiler.com/subscribe/ to get updated on in-depth points and miles content like this, and don’t forget to like and follow us on social media.Music Credit – “Ocean Deep” by Annie YoderCheck out all of our other travel podcasts from around the worldThis podcast is part of the Voyascape Network, a collection of some of the world’s best travel podcasts.
