Anonymous GuestI was wondering if you have written anything on the notional cost or spend required to reach various tiers of an airline’s frequent flyer program? For instance, Qantas is having a double status credits offer which closes in the next two days, and here is a breakdown of how inconsistent their status credit program is in terms of fare category, the price paid, and status credits earned.

Well nowadays, the 3 major US airlines (AA, UA, DL) all have a spend requirement for each of their elite tiers, so even if you somehow get the elite qualifying miles/segments, you still need to meet the spend requirement for each tier in order to obtain that status.
For other airlines, it’s going to vary quite a bit based on the status you currently have, as well as how you fly. Fare deals pop up quite a bit and they can make a difference to how much it’ll cost to get you status.
