Here's a deep-dive analysis of the major U.S. airline elite status programs, and how expensive they are to earn.
After two full years of disrupted travel, it seems like the industry could finally return to something like normalcy. Maybe. Perhaps. According to a report by the World Travel & Tourism Council, business travel in 2022 could return to 66% of normal 2019 levels.
Some airlines are offering better value for elites With names like “Gold,” “Sapphire” and “Diamond,” airline elite status levels can sound interchangeably luxurious and valuable. But all that glitters is not Executive Platinum.NerdWallet performed a deep-dive analysis of the major U.S. airline elite status programs to determine which offer the best value. Unlike similar analyses, which only look at the value of a given elite status level, we also compared how expensive they are to earn.
Of course, this is a boiled-down rating of a complex problem. Each airline has different elite levels or tiers, and each of these is worth a different amount. For each airline’s elite level, we’ve also determined an elite earning rate, or the amount of value you can expect to get out of the program per dollar spent to earn that tier.
Elite status might be easier to earn Like your local grocery store and its mask rules, airlines have been constantly updating and re-updating their elite status qualification rules throughout the pandemic. For the most part, this boiled down to two simple changes: As anyone who has obsessively tracked a flight’s upgrade list knows, the more elites who are on a given flight reduces the chances that you will get bumped to the front of the plane.
