Frequent Flyer MVP

It’s official. After months of checking my airline miles online, staying loyal to only airlines that offer partner miles, and a taking that extra layover here and there, I knew the day had come for MVP status. It was time to login and check–

23,953 miles until MVP Gold !? I knew that Gold status was still a ways off, but I guess I had envisioned confetti and balloons when reaching MVP. Or maybe just an automated congratulatory e-mail with an animated gif of confetti and balloons. Eh well.

So getting MVP for the first time was a little anticlimactic, but I won’t deny that it’s pretty neat to now have it. It represents 25,000+ miles of travel in the last 4 months, specifically to Minneapolis, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Miami, Atlanta, Washington DC, Las Vegas, and New York.

Anyway, here’s to being able to board first and the prospect of a free upgrade.
