Not too long ago I wrote a post sharing the benefits of having entry level elite status – that is, the first tier in airline’s elite program part of their frequent flyer program.
It’s helpful to compare the benefits of these beginning status levels side by side, that way you can decide which airline it’s most advantageous for you to fly.
Is it worth attaining these entry level status levels if you don’t normally fly enough?

I didn’t realize Alaska’s program had been renamed to MPV (Most Patient Vacuum?)
It might also be helpful to note that Alaska is 25k if you use partners.
I thought American’s Gold members can upgrade compaions, too?
