As a frequent flyer with lounge access I tend to agree. When I want to be alone with a movie or something, I can be, and when I feel like having a (free!) beer where the people are, I can do that too.

I'm so angry Delta removed lounge access from Amex Platinum card holders.

I liked to think that I was a frequent flyer but the bar is set so high. I flew twice a week, every week, for nearly a year straight at my job. Only made it up to Delta Gold status recently and I can't even access the lounge.

I already spent nearly a year of my life living in a hotel and I'm not even in the top tiers of the travel world.

You don't spend enough. Try being rich next time.

That's the spirit!

That's pretty much it. There was a WSJ article about this very thing: frequent flyer miles are more based on spending with the airline CC then by actually flying.

Airline status is a joke these days. If you don't have their credit card it's basically impossible.

I don't know about Delta (never flown with them), but with my usual airlines it's not just the frequency, but also distance and ticket type.

Yeah I was flying domestic 600 mile (965 km) flights across the country in main cabin sardine class so I probably wasn't racking up miles that well.
