I don’t have any plan yet in 2024 to fly with any Star alliance airlines, that’s why I am still thinking if it’s worth to pay $450 for the gold status and not using it at all, or perhaps use the $450 and switch to Amex to at least get some travel credit.
Will need to do some travel planning for next year in the coming weeks.![]()
In that case, you certainly shouldn't spend $450 for status you would not use. I have had SQ *G for two years thanks to some credit card points transfers a couple of years ago. I have used it on revenue flights twice, both on AI domestic flights. One flight had lounge access, the other didn't. But that was status I got for free - I would not have paid even $10 for it.
I would also ditch a card whose benefits you don't need and investigate alternatives that will get you a sign up bonus and better points on spend - all for a lower fee.
