Some airlines, such as Air China and China Southern Airlines, can upgrade according to the model that any mileage/segment reaches the standard, and there is no fixed consumption standard, only depending on whether the user's graded mileage or segment reaches the standard within one year.
Take Air China as an example. At present, Air China and Bank of China have launched a joint credit card for the Winter Olympics, which can double the rated flight segments, that is, the full-price business class of three flights can get six rated flight segments, that is, the route in the figure below can fly 15 times (7.5 round trips) for a total of 90 flight segments, and only need to spend 2K *15 = 30,000 yuan to get a platinum card.
Like the new membership system of China Eastern Airlines, it is difficult to stipulate that the consumption amount exceeds 1.5 million (as one of the conditions), so the threshold is relatively high.
In short, different airlines have different standards and accumulation methods. You can consult the relevant airlines for specific consumption.
