The cost was then $59 and in my opinion, I had gotten my value out of the membership. I liked my extra 2k United miles and got use out of my Platinum Hyatt and Executive status with National. There were other random perks that I really didn&#8217;t take advantage of.<\/p>\n<p>Well this year the price is lowered to $49 but you get less United miles (only 1,000) and you get Hilton Gold which is very easily attainable with a Amex or Citi credit card.

Well Gary at <a href=\"http:\/\/boardingarea.com\/viewfromthewing\/2013\/10\/11\/get-free-airport-parking\/\" target=\"_blank\">View from the Wing stated<\/a> that the Parking Spot code is not a one time use code and you should be able to use it multiple times. I always park here because they are at both Houston airport locations and I accumulate parking spot points to use for free parking days. Those parking fees do at up!<\/p>\n<p>Plus I am still interested in National Exec status after mine expires in Feb 2014 from the last Milepoint Premium membership I purchased.<\/p>\n<p>Also any memberships purchased in Oct will benefit Breast Cancer awareness in a small way.
