Congrats and I totally get it. I made it to million mile ++ status over the course of 15 years. Unfortunately, not on one airline (over 600K on United in the beginning, over 400K on AA) and a mish mash of airlines after. Would have been lovely to have permanent status but alas, it was not to be. The fact that I even remember that says a lot, eh? 😝 I can understand your quest and thankful I do not travel for work any longer. The experience (especially on board) has completely changed. I guess the motivation to achieve status and a better experience worked LOL
Seems like they should have an alternative closing question, for times when they've been of no assistance. "Is there anything else I can help you with?" adds fuel to the fire. Or at least they could reword it so it doesn't end in a preposition. ;)
Part 2: What would you do to get on the A-List?
I love the story telling and can feel the push and pull of being gamified and yet knowing it at the same time.
