Is airline elite status worth it anymore? 👀

It's an age-old question that's back on plenty of minds — especially after two of the four largest U.S. carriers overhauled their loyalty programs this month. (As a reminder, that was United Airlines and Southwest.)

One theme is becoming clear: To get the best rewards, members are going to have to spend ... a lot.

On one hand, airline status still offers a host of ways to save money, get better seats and travel with more flexible policies.

And, in some ways, qualify has become more realistic for travelers who aren't true "road warriors," since everyday spending counts toward status.

At the same time, free first-class upgrades have gotten harder to score and status benchmarks keep getting pricier to earn. 😬

It's created a real dilemma for travelers who fly a lot — but only have so much money they're willing to put toward earning status: Is it worth dumping tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars onto your favorite airline's credit card to reach your status goal?

Here are a few things to consider.

Think about what you're getting out of status, and whether it's worth the investment.

➡️ Are you actually getting first-class upgrades? For a lot of travelers, those have become few and far between.
➡️ If not, are you regularly getting free access to your airline's extra-legroom section? (Personally, this perk is one of the biggest reasons I stick with status.)
➡️ Do you take real advantage of other elite benefits, like free same-day changes or lounge access?

If not, you could be a candidate to hop off the status "hamster wheel" and be an airline "free agent."

But if you've crunched the numbers and decided status is still worth it, you may need to double down on your favorite airline. 👈

And that might mean prioritizing credit card spending on that carrier's card. Because in 2026, that is almost as important as flying when it comes to unlocking the best perks.

Head to the 🔗 in bio for how much you'd need to pay for entry-tier airline status in 2027 if you went exclusively by credit card spending. (Partner offers, terms apply)

🚨 “Real Madrid’s attacks against Barcelona over the Negreira case are 𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄.” ‼️🇪🇸

“Real Madrid are stretching it out and chewing it like a gum”, LaLiga president Javier Tebas said.

“Barcelona will have to bear responsibility if necessary, but right now Barça 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐁𝐄 𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆, because it is Real Madrid that is drawing out the legal process, not Barça.” 💢

“Barca’s case has 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲’𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞, and what happened with City cannot influence the justice system here. The decision must be made here, in Spain.”
