It's extremely rare to get room upgrades even for good or platinum these days.

We recently got an upgrade to a Club Level room at a Ritz using the platinum. Guess we got lucky. It was a one night stay, which may have helped.

For those that fly American, but can justify the travel card, this one seem to check a lot of boxes for earning AA miles.

For those with an $99 Red AA Card from Barclays, the transfer to Citi is happening next month. There’s still time to take advantage of the in-flight Citi offer for their version, 80,000 miles for $1k in spending In 3 months, no fee the first year. No need to be on a flight, the link is available all over the internet and apparently any 6 digit code works. If you have the Barclays Silver AA card, that’s being changed to the Citi AA Globe, but the Barclays card’s $199 fee is being grandfathered for now vs the $350 fee for the Citi version.
