Yes, this requires an overnight in Tampa, but "name your own price" on www.priceline.com yielded the Intercontinental Tampa Airport at $44 for the night. $56.85 AI. Yes, they have an airport shuttle.

Presently this city pair is yielding the highest eqms for runs into Florida on weekdays, better than MCO, FLL, JAX or MIA during November.

Price per MQM = .0314

Price per RDM as a Platinum .0157

Price per RDM as Platinum with AMEX card (.007)

And 5000/10000 targeted promotion yields an additional 5k or 10k RDM

My total 27128 RDM for this trip, cost per MQM slightly higher if one includes the hotel and 2 days parking at PDX. Too bad it is so difficult to spend the earned miles. :(

hmm now only need to get from ATL to PDX..

Or to TPA. These fares should be symmetrical and work starting at either end. @:-)

Actually, I checked the dates and there are significant disparities. I did find one TPA-PDX via JFK for $228.40, About 475 less miles. In fact, I am taking a run PDX-JFK-TPA-JFK-PDX for 6900 MQMs on Tuesday returning on Wednesday of this week.

BTW: warning

On some of the fares showing as routing through BOS, the PDX-BOS segments are on the AS non-stops. Code share. MQMs are fine, RDMs will be reduced due to promotions not kicking in 5k/10k may or may not post. You will be relegated to coach for the trans-cons versus the possibility of EUA on DL/NW. My segments are all DL on both trips.

Also have a twelve day trip in December routing PDX-JFK-FLL...MIA-MSP-SEA-PDX for $317 also yielding 6900 MQMs.

The 5K/10K bonus miles will still be credited if you have an AS segment in your reservation.

I have had two of these post already with no problem.

Notice, I said may or may not. I had a trip with 2 AS segments that did not post, but the 5K bonus did. Called and asked for the AS segments to added. My previously posted 5K bonus disappeared, the total RDMs were reduced and I ended up with less than I started with. MQMs seemed to be correct. So please, do not be so emphatic that it will happen.
