It was last year, or perhaps the year before, that we first started seeing American Airlines offer elites that looked to be missing re-qualification, an opportunity to buy status.

A structure of 3 towers, connected at the top by what looks like a boat.Up there, on the 57th floor, is an infinity pool, restaurants and a viewing area.

I feel like this day has been long in coming. I overcame my Marriott Points shortfall, and achieved Marriott lifetime Titanium Elite status over a year ago, at least according to the Marriot Bonvoy App (most days). So you can imagine that I was pretty happy to the small unassuming package from Marriott when I…
