Meanwhile anyone up on these status matches and/or challenges? Say you're supreme ruby platinum mink coat status, a lot of competitors will match that status or offer you a challenge for a set period of time while then giving you that status.
I'm signing up for all I can while I can. Stayed at a hotel a few months ago that had a cookie and milk bar.

For a while I had platinum status so I didn't worry about it. But that expired. Then I took a trip with my boss and he wasn't happy that he had to wait on me.

Before this month I was on about 80/90% travel. When you're then traveling with people a few pay grades above you; you don't want them having to wait on you.

they got these machines at LAX that are real easy and honestly i have not (knock on wood) had a tough time at any airport, u.s. or foreign, in a long time with customs or immigration. i had a connecting flight in san salvador that was a bitch, but that was just an airport security hassle (they make you take our all your shit and get searched before boarding the flight).

ESPECIALLY in busy airports/terminals/times (see Delta LAX red-eye. Bastids. ) Best thing I ever did. And with global entry, nothing better than coasting thru immigration/customs after a long-ass flight.
If you're airport is a major international hub, even if you only travel twice a year, it's totally worth it.
