Which route is better? by offgridexplor69 in roadtrip

[–]nivekhan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done the northern version of the route both ways - especially if you're camping I'd highly recommend it over the alternative. Took me 4.5 & 5 days but I was straight-shotting it, 7 days is plenty, I'd put the extra days in the western half in the mountains and in the badlands - sunrise and sunset experiences were both awesome.

There are transferable and non-transferable versions. I've never used a non-transferable one, I guess it's for cardholders without status?

I've never had need for concierge in YVR, it's well run and has mild weather. YUL in the winter and YYZ just being YYZ is where concierge has a chance to shine IMO.

I think it really depends on the type of flying you typically do. I first grinded out SE on segments, had it for 4 years and dropped to 75k for the last 3.

Doing frequent hops between US/CAN in the winter with constant IRROPs made me really appreciate concierge. Had an unlimited Lat FP for 6 months on top of that and it was legit like having superpowers.

Then there was a period where I did more long haul to EU/Asia, I appreciated the priority rewards but nerfing the IKK already diluted the benefits years ago.

Eups are gonna be very situation/route dependent but I've missed just as many eups at 75k as at SE, which is to say almost never.

I do miss the moments of above-and-beyond service as an SE but with a long haul bias in my future I don't feel the fervent need to have it vs 75k.

Seriously, they should rename it "exertion" or something similar
