More fail
I had to cancel two trips to NRT and a trip to Europe in the last two weeks. So now I will barely pass 500K AQM. Me fail.

Nope. Nomad only flies on mistake fares, he only pays like $10 per segment + fees/taxes. He'll be lucky to make P25K next year. The whole AQD thing was primarily aimed at him.

I wonder if we'll ever get in on those fares on day.
About time with the AQD, I always knew he was the prime example of an SE cheapener.

BenL was looking at a picture of nomad when he wrote the infamous "cheapening" comment, actually.

It would be really cool if AC told us what the mileage numbers were for, say, the top 50 AQMers for the year. It could be completely anonymous - just #1: 700K AQM; #2: 650K AQM, etc. Although perhaps it could benefit AC to gamify it a bit like they did with EYW and let people sign up to have a username or something published so they can show off.
I think 2MMKid did >700K last year, but he said early on that he would likely be short of that this year, I think.

(but honestly, 500K AQM in one calendar year is peanuts compared to some others here...)

You guys are hilarious.
Yeah, there was a poster here (more of a lurker) who posted in my 2016/2017 requal thread about hitting 700+AQM last year. Now that's nuts. S/he even hit 100K AQM before I did this year... and I hit it 2nd week of February!

Need 97,000 AQM to hit 600,000 AQM. Any suggestions?
I was thinking of doing a MR to MARS (the planet), but I couldn't find the routing on AC's website. Com'on, IBM.
