Similar position with @Delta - in terms of miles, the rollover alone was enough to reach Diamond 3 times already😅💎💎💎
But their spend requirement, $20K, will be VERY hard to reach.

Alaska was very nice to continue my 2019 status through 2020, 2021, and 2022 despite me flying less than would qualify for even the first tier, but alas I think my time as a top tier flyer has come to an end 🥲

I am reviewing all my 2019 flights to try to remember why I told myself I didn't want to go back to that much travel anymore.

I've been enjoying my Alaska Gold 75K/oneworld Emerald status during 2021 and 2022, but maybe it's time to just let it go. 😥

I just made a list of all my expected flights in 2023 and I am just *barely* going to hit @AlaskaAir MVP Gold status (40K) by the very end of the year.

How did I fly so much in 2019?? I hit Gold 75K status by April in 2019! 🤯

I’ll say it again — someone should be selling a $2500 webcam that looks as good as an annoying complicated DSLR + dummy battery + stupid capture card setup but connects with one cable and you’re done. They would be printing money.

The $300 ones are 👎 Someone make a *great* one.

A creator should never lose their account due to copyright strikes until YouTube can figure out a way to stop it from being weaponized.

Like you said, it’s too easy to take a channel offline and there are no real consequences for doing it.
