US Airways Dividend Miles (Pre-FlightFund Merger) - Almost half way through the year - how is everyone doing on status?

As of today I have 83 preferred segments and 44,587 miles toward preferred status for next year on US. By the end of the month I will have 87 segments.

All my travel this year, except 4 segments, has been for pleasure.

I'm curious to see how everyone else is doing in qualifying for a new level or re-qualifying for the same one by the end of the year on US?

[This message has been edited by cavman75 (edited 06-06-2002).]

After this weekend I'll be at 23,682 miles for the year.

I've already requal'd for UA 1K, Hilton Diamond and 1 stay from SPG Platinum. And... I really haven't been anywhere in the past two months! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/eek.gif

62 US Air segs
14,978 UA miles

At the end of this week I will have 60 USAirways segments. Should be able to hit 100 with little problem. I had been a CO Platinum prior to my switch to USAir. I have a total of 2 segments this year with CO. Both of the flights were in America West. I must say I am quite impressed with USAir. I hope they get their finances in order.

Requalified for Silver on 31 segments and 19,000+ miles.

Interesting side note: both of my parents were recently given (that's what it must be) Silver status based on their flying of 4 segments and maybe 10K miles each for the year. As far as I know, they didn't do any challenges (I provide them with all the promo codes).

Wish Gold was that easy .....

30,030 tier miles and 24 seggies. Well on my way to requalify for Gold, as I have two trips planned in June.

34 segments (18027 miles) - will have 43 by mid-July even with two free (bump voucher) trips in the interim.

I've requalified for Blue with Hilton and, if all goes as planned, should have no trouble retaining my Dividend Miles account for 2003.

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 41,316
Year to Date Preferred Segments: 32

A higher than usual number of transcons is keeping the M/S ratio higher than usual. My hat goes off to those requalifying on segments!

I am in serious frequent flyer trouble. I am gold but I have no miles and no segments so far. I am liable to be sent to the frequent flyer gulag! I did redeem quite a few awards so far, all but one domestic. I don't know if I can even salvage silver for next year. Help!

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 41,493
Year to Date Preferred Segments: 41

I need to start flying again! I was going for 50 segments or 50K by the end of June.

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 108,970
Year to Date Preferred Segments: 86

That'll be 110,000+ & 88 by the end of the night...

26 segments, 29k miles. I started off real strong and had a month with 12 segments. I actually thought I'd hit Chairman's. The only way that will happen now is with some serious segment runs...I'm open to ideas!

8 Segments, 15,500 miles

Well on my way to silver this year, with abou 2500 miles more coming up this month. I'm at gold now, so I am hoping for the visa 10k, plus a trip to Europe at the end of the year to boost me over.

Just got over 25K tier miles on my very rough Dash 8 ride from DCA. 48 segments this year. Way behind last years results. Will make CP lite with last years segments.

Showing 35 segments right now, but two that should have posted (was bumped to AA) haven't, and I have four coming this weekend to reach 41. Should squeak in for a re-up of Gold, and no hope of Chairman's.

30,776 miles on 9 segments.

Do I win the prize for best M/S ratio (about 3500:1)?

If there were an alliance partner in place, I'd have no problem doing CP again given my upcoming trips to Europe and Japan. Instead I'll get no tier miles (and possibly no DM miles at all). Otherwise, Gold is no problem with trips already planned.

I'm off to a slow start for accruing miles; only:
21,836 miles on 18 segments

However on awards, I have 31,180 for a single itinerary on AA/CX. Ah, the joys of the Wing and the Pier!!

Hotel wise, I'm going very strong:
57 paid nights (some doubled) w/ Marriott - easy requalification for Platinum
23 paid nights (some doubled) w/ Hilton - currently comped to Diamond and will requalify without problem
11 nights on award stays

10K USAirways miles -- a few west coast trips and one to Europe should qualify me for Silver this year but they won't drop me below Gold so makes no difference. I'm really bummed about not flying USAirways more, they've always been so wonderful to me -- I just haven't been flying much for work and my personal trips take me to places where US just doesn't go http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

On the other hand, 10K United miles so far, plus three ticketed trips to Southeast Asia this year on UA for June, October, and December + r/t SIN-SYD on SQ and SIN-BOM on SQ for more miles gets me to about 75K miles. Need to find a few SE Asia mileage runs: I'm planning to make 1K on United this year!

Requalified Chairman's with my last sequence. Helped by the 33,000 2001 miles (in excess of 100K) which were given to us this year only.

22975 Preferred miles and 35 preferred segments so far. All business except for one trip to FLL. Have a trip next week for 4 more segments and 2000 miles. (SWF-PHL-PIT)

Hoping to hit gold this year. Never been higher than silver, but for the past 4 years, I've just qualified at the end of the year. Already renewed my silver and going for gold.

I also had one trip on AA for 3032 miles/4 segments

US Airways:

Current Status = Chairman's Preferred

YTD Pref Miles = 43,251
YTD Pref Segs= 52

Expect to maintain chairman status for sixth year in a row.

American:

Current Status: Platinum

YTD Elite Q Points = 12,276
YTD Elite Q Miles = 19,594
YTD Gold/Plat Segs = 28

James


------------------
US-CP; UA PE; Hilton Gold VIP; Crowne Plaza Gold

20,233 miles and 20 segs.

The good news: Met a Gold challenge earlier in the year, so am enjoying that until Feb.

The bad news: The project in Minneapolis has ended so it looks like back to Silver next year.

Favorite FF story: Got on a plane on a Friday and pulled out the Attache to do the crossword. I noticed that it was already filled in. In my handwriting.

70 segments and 36,000 miles.

Right now,the bankruptcy situation at US, the sense that we may all be flying RJ's soon, and the fact I have cheaper alternatives that are direct flights to places US has almost abandoned and I fly to regularly (BWI, IAD), lead me to ask myself why I'm bothering to go through this. Granted, the service on US once you're on the plane is great.

At this point, I plan to plod along, book some award flights, and reevaluate my carrier of choice when and if I make CP, probably in late August.

Year to Date Preferred Miles:
34,051

Should make gold easily!

Slightly behind last year's pace... but should still requalify for Gold by December.

David

9440 & 8 segments. It doesn't look good so far for this year. Only about 19000 planned for year in total. We'll drop from gold to zip. Glad to me stockpiling points as they'll be needed for upgrades next year. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

18 segments
46,954 miles

Gold is locked up thanks to the Visa double preferred miles to Europe and the triple miles on the shuttle. Thought about going for CP but it just seems out reach. My son (15) made Gold on a challenge last year - has 18 segments and 36,954 miles. With a few shuttles this summer and Florida in the fall he'll make it again.

97 segments
107k miles

Ah, the joy of connecting anywhere you go from BWI

Bad shape right now for status on US Airways, but things should improve later in the year (i have about 25 segments between now and the end of august). I spent a lot of the first half of this year on other airlines because of the massive US schedule cutbacks out of Tampa.

By the way, deelmakur, what's a sequence?
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 9,171

Ugh. On the flip side I will have about 20k miles on my car http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

With the carryovers from last year, USair has me officially at:

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 253,531
Year to Date Preferred Segments: 42
Membership Level: Chairman's Preferred Member

Pretty good miles/flight ratio, huh? By my calcs, about 85,000 actual flight miles this year.

I ended last year at 99 segments, 235,429 miles. Looks like this year will be 95 segments, 193,000 actual - although USAir will have me at about 362,000 miles

------------------

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 138,188
Year to Date Preferred Segments: 97

Only 10k preferred miles was from last year's carry-over. The question that I am strugling with lately is whether I should stick with US or fly more UA to maintain my UA status. Both of them seem in the same sinking boat

You'll be sittin' pretty if our alliance partner is UA !

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 49,116

I should retain CP status by the end of the month. Driving to GSO or RDU to fly back through Charlotte where I live in order to save some serious bucks is a major pain. But every flight is at least 4 segments so the CP status level is a breeze.

I will switch over to ATA when I get 100 segments to test the waters.

US AIRWAYS HALL OF PAIN

Below, we find thread posters listed in M/S ratio order. Some regulars are absent because either miles or segments were not clearly posted. The fine men and women at the top of the list occupy positions to which we all aspire. They fly long legs, primarily International or Transcon. They fly First Class, and know a good wine. They have fantastic sex lives, and probably have or could have handsome children.

As for the folks at the end of the list? They are our heroes. They know the dark-side of US Airways in all its middle-seated, runway-slamming, turbo-propped glory. They are landing almost before they take off. They know the term "airport friction." They are the planes, trains, and automobiles set. If you ever see one of them, you want to give them a hug and say "I love you man!" Or at least buy them a drink.

I'll take my beer and then some.

I want one of the Dash 8s named after me.

Will ruin my chance to be at the bottom of the heap when I do my first transcon this week.

*mumble* 15k on 10 segments *mumble*

edited to update: 20,284 on 20 segments. Still the highest M/S ratio I've ever had on US.

4 more segments this month, including a transcon, which will drive the M/S back up, and put me over the top (with bonuses and whatnot) for Silver, and if the bonuses really work in my favor, perhaps make Gold a winning proposition for the year. Yet:

OTOH, since US refuses to even acknowledge that the citizenry of PIT are anything but lemmings, I've granted AA about 25k on 23 segments in the past 2 months or so. Almost all transcon stuffs (special shout out to US yield management and pricing--this could have all been yours....)

Saving the world, one clue at a time.

50K US/50K CO. In any other year, the entire 100K would have been on US. Will definitely make CO Platinum, not sure about CP on US, but Gold ain't so bad! Although it will break my five year streak as a CP member, I'll be back once things settle down and we know which direction US is headed.

status 06/09/02:

Preferred miles: 10,743
Preferred segments: 12

This weekend though I'm going:

IND - PHL / PHL - LAX / LAX - PHL / PHL - IND

So that will help alittle!

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 30,108
Year to Date Preferred Segments: 36
Membership Level: Gold Preferred Member

I am definitely in the Dash 8 crowd.
My favorite was flying in and out of Athens, GA last week on a Beechcraft. I got to the airport 45 minutes early and as I checked in the gate agent told me I was the last passenger. I asked, half-jokingly, if we could leave early. She says. "I'll ask the pilots" and screams to the back, "You guys ready to go early!" 2 minutes later she was scanning our luggage and off we went, all 3 of us.

Mine should actually be lower, as there were some promotions that gave double tier miles. Except for one trip to FLL, everything else has been the 500 mile minimum. Did a lot of LGA-PIT-ERI this year, and once a flight from PIT was cancelled, so I was rerouted ERI-PIT-PHL-ERI on the way home.

about 30% is turboprop, and 30% is shuttle and the rest is LGA-PIT http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

BTW, I do sit in first class a lot on those short legs, because I don't do much long haul flying and I don't want the certs to expire. Two years ago and another employer I actually got to go to London twice in the same year http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

</font>

While its nice to be at the top of the list, it should be fairly obvious that a good chunk of my success is because of the double miles promos.

Then again, I assumed everyone was getting miles because of that.

Thanks to ATC for providing my first ever 'sexual God' top spot.

my 23,682 is on 12 segs. 1,974 M:S Ratio for ATC's list! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

But I still don't know good wine! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I've added my current mileage to my previous post and net 530 miles per segment average. (When you consider that 500 miles is the MINIMUM segment length for mileage purposes...). I DO have a trancontinental run comming up next month, but it won't count at all since it is a free ticket that will earn neither segments NOR miles.

[This message has been edited by rtpflyer (edited 06-10-2002).]

Most of my miles are from a PHL-LGW and PHL-SJU, so mine would be fairly accurate.

Chris

28 Segments
22,664 preferred miles
M:S ratio 809
8 segments booked for next two weeks-

should keep Gold for next year

Miles: 14,893
Segs: 19
M:S 784

Requal for Gold is unlikely since I've moved some of my longer haul travel to AA. Will plod along to silver, but not much beyond.

My M/S ratio is about 1,000

24k tier miles to 24 segs.

Too many DCA-CLT-RDU segs in there to cut into those AMS and FCO trips.

That's OK, sometimes I like to take my time and some times it's wham, bam, thank you... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Well, my high segment count is due to taking full advantange of the Bank of America USAirways double miles/segments during the month of April.

Using $108 (including taxes), 6 segment roundtrips to my parents in SYR going from BWI (BWI-PHL-LGA-SYR) and one $100 something 5 segment trip to RDU, I was able to snag 50 or so segments in just that 5 week period that counted towards status. Those were by flying a combination of jets and dash 8's. Throw in the other mileage promos and I was averaging 12,000-15,000 miles earned for each roundtrip. I will be flying more and I will definitely go over the 100 requalify mark, but couldn't pass up all those miles for a cheap price. Plus, I don't have to do those runs later in the year when weather is unpredictable.

Pref miles - 30,228
Segments - 16

I feel like such a fool. All these years I was taking herbal suppliments to improve my sex life when all I needed to do was to stop flying round trip from GSO to CLT. Perhaps my upcoming CLT to CHS round trips will make things better.

Preferred Miles: 31,018
Preferred Segments: 44
M-to-S: 705

Nearly all on BOS-PHL runs, with a few Shuttle and a few leisure transcons boosting the preferred miles. Yes, I'm gunning for CP on segments.

OK, since this turned into a competition&lt;g&gt;:

Actual, real flight miles (I had to dig through my statements) - 93,471 on 43 flights = 2174 miles/segment

According to US's 'official' tally - 255,784 Preferred Miles and 43 Preferred Segments Year To Date - 5948 m/s

First class, good wines, fantastic sex life, etc?? I get 21 day advance/8 Chairman ahead of me on the upgrade wait list, Diet Coke in a plastic cup, too worn out to do much of anything at home. I must be doing something wrong.....

Lousy -

5 stinkin segments for about 4,000 miles (500 came as a bonus for being rebooked to another flight in Y class).

That being said, I've got two SAN trips booked:
DCA-PHL-PIT-SAN-PIT-DCA and DCA-PHL-SAN-PIT-DCA

as well as two Shuttle trips.

That should give me an additional 18,000 miles in short order.

The Detailed Numbers:

Actual Miles: 49,865 (missing credit for 1 485 mile segment though...)

Minimum Miles: 58,419

Tier Miles: 110,148 (includes 34,671 one time credit for last years CP overage, 1,000 "mystery" miles and 22 segments and 17,058 of double tier miles -- but U only counts 17 doubled segments -- go figure..., does not count missing segment)

Credited Segments: 88

Actual Segments: 71 (1 missing, but I'm not complaining...)

Total Miles YTD: 283,706 (includes all sources & all bonuses -- many non-flight related.)

Miles Burned YTD: 100,000

Actual Miles per Actual Segment: 702
Bonus Miles to Actual Miles: 5.68:1

Most Efficient Segment:

PHL -&gt; BWI Actual 90, Total 2,000 22:1

Total Trips: 17
Leisure Trips: 1

Coach Seats: 2 (Not counting those that I inflicted on myself by standing by for earlier flights...) (BTW -- both of these were IND -&gt; PIT on Thursday nights...)

The Dreaded "S": Once (plus another time when "US1" looked like "S" to the "security" person...)

Times "Randomly" Shaken Down by "Security": Countless

To date as of Jun 7th:

12 preferred segments
13,588 Preferred Miles for the year
88,575 miles total

I had a flight on 6-9 FLL-PHL which should add 992 miles (plus 496 bonus to the grand total)...presently I am holding US Silver Preferred Status...I think Ill make it again this year but I may need a mileage run to PIT or something like that (I fly out of PHL and live in the PHL burbs)

Greg

It is pleasing to note how many have grasped the importance of discovering their true lot in the US Airways social stratum. The Hall of Pain has been amended to include the latest postings.

It is even more gratifying to watch rd7242 and rtpflyer amending and elbowing for better position. Are they striving for the top of the list among the brie and chablis set? Nope. Why they are scrapping and clawing their way to the pity end of the list with the tenacity of dumpster-divers on crack.

Hey, my kinda guys!

ATC you pretty much rock! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

Well thanks. I'm really just celebrating the fact that for once in my freakin' life I'm not anchoring the list!

I don't know if I have enough to count...I have 12270 and 4 segments--3067 m/s. I switched jobs...I may have to settle for Silver this year (YIKES!). I am hoping for some double preferred miles bonuses later this year...I can hope!

US Miles = 29762
US Segments = 40
US M/S = 744
I also got 4 more segments this week. I'm hoping to qualify again for CP using segments.

In the meantime:
AA QMiles = 21223
AA Segments = 15
AA M/S = 1,414 (mostly int'l travel)

DL Miles = 21,218
DL Segments = 32
DL M/S = 663

Current Level: Gold
YTD Segments: 28
YTD Miles: 23,306
M:S ratio: 832
Upgrade success: 25/26 (2 segments credited due to cancellation)
Upgrade coupons purchased: 0 (LAX helped)

If it wasn't for a LAX trip (767) in "I" w/ the class of service bonus, I'd be at the 500 min.

The Heineken tastes just as good on the short flights.

ATC--There is no way I am going to let rd7242 and rtpflyer elbow their way past the King of Dash 8 land. If I have to, then I will spend a weekend doing mileage runs between Charleston and Myrtle Beach...even if I have to fly in 1A! I bet rd7242 and rtpflyer fly Dash 8 runs where there is enough time to break out the meal tray for the first row folks!

Most of my dash-8 runs are either PIT-ERI, where we only get beverage service if it's a Dash8-100 (coke and diet coke only). The Dash8-300 has too many people to server everyone on the short flight.

The other flight I regularly take is PHL-SWF, full beverage service on that one.

The only flights this year on US more than 500 miles was my vacation in FLL. Everything else has been either LGA-PIT-ERI or SWF-PHL-PIT. Plus one ERI-PIT-DCA and one shuttle from DCA-LGA.

Can't sit in first on the shuttle

US Miles YTD - 100,074

24975 miles and 39 segments to push me down to 640m/s

Heh. I'm not doing so well yet, but that'll be changing:

Segments: 4
Miles: 2668

However, upcoming trips include at least one PIT-&gt;LGW (with hopes of a 2nd in the fall), Hawaii (go alliance announcement!), possibly Seattle, and a few more of those little hops (PIT-&gt;ORF, PIT-&gt;MCO)... So I could still end up easily keeping Silver.


Given I made Silver last year on a *single trip* (PIT-&gt;LGW during a challenge), I can't really complain, though http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

An unfortunate new trend this year...

UA - 72,000+ miles/108 segments
AA - 38,000+ miles/45 segments
DL - 58,000+ miles/75 segments
US - 0 miles/0 sgements

I wish US would determine 'which way the wind is blowing' in terms of finances/alliances/future. At the current rate, I will not be receiving that little blue (or gold letter at that start of this year) folder with all of the US goodies in it next February, for the first time in years. Too bad, I do like the airline.

I respect all of you loyal US FF willing to stick with things, but until the clouds clear me thinks 'No Mas'...the 350K plus I have in my account is enough of an interest in US at the moment.

Current Status: Chairmans Pref
YTD Tier Miles: 21,902

But at least that can is complimentary and comes with cashews! (except for PIT-DCA last night where I couldn't get an upgrade on a flight I booked two months ago!)

OK, this West Coast boy checking in here:

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 108,677

Of course yours is high....No 500 mile flights from the west coast http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Methinks there'll be some changes to the Hall of Pain M/S figures as we slide into the rest of the year!

YTD Preferred Miles: 4,500
YTD Preferred Segments: 8

That looks pretty bad with the end of July here but I do have 8 segments in August and a trip to Vegas in September. I think I can hit Gold with a Gold Challenge. Plus I have some other travel around December planned. All on personal travel so it's not too shabby considering I'm not rich! ;-)

Currently US1, 72 segments YTD including 19 credited from last year. Will probably not make US1 again...I quit my old job requiring almost weekly air travel--and took a new job which will be mostly car travel.

As much as I love to fly, the post 9/11 hassle has taken its toll on me. I actually looked at the smaller territory job as a bonus.

If we're counting bonuses:

Year to Date Preferred Miles: 304,107
Year to Date Preferred Segments: 53

112 segments YTD with 24 more through mid september.
More total miles than I could of possibly imagined due to the recent glut of bonuses.
Banking all I can to burn on UA metal over the winter going places I could not imagine on U.

Currently CP, 5 years running, based in ORF, 90% east coast flights.

YTD Segments: 81
YTD Miles: 72,000

8 segments this week not yet posted and 6 planned for next week, I'm very confident I will make CP again by end of August.

US-CP; UA PE; Hilton Gold VIP; Crowne Plaza Gold

I would like a ratio recount in order to be able to relinquish my Prince of Pain title. At present, due to lots of bonus help (thank you US), I am at 67,000 miles and 90 segs. With already booked trips, I should be at CP mid-August. Bring on the new Prince of Pain.

Nice try, Brattflyer. However the tally books are closed. You are the Prince of Pain. Cavman75 clearly requested individual stats for the first half of 2002, only. This is the second half. We can only begin to imagine the pressure and responsibilities inherent in your charge. Nevertheless, we are here to support you.

Plus, look at the upside. Nobody can challenge you. The next time someone starts whining about yellow limes, or plasticware in First Class, you can say, “That is insignificant. I am the Prince of Pain, and I have spoken.” That'll shut 'em up.

Oh, and one more thing. Remember, you are only Prince of Pain for a few more months. You will survive. TomBascom's condition is somewhat more permanent.

Since the tally counts beginning of Feb (right?)I'll throw into the heap my July statement for review...

I hate math so will guess my avg is even 1000

Time for an update... the quick numbers are easy -- the detailed breakdown will have to wait http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Miles in the Bank: 714,856
YTD Preferred Miles: 170,505
YTD Segments: 127

If I were still doing MHT &lt;--&gt; SFO every week I'd probably be giving CPRich a run for his money... Oh well http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

I also burned another 25k bringing the YTD burn total up to 125k.

I actually had half of a trip that generated no bonus activity other than 50 miles for using the kiosk -- June 28th IND -&gt; PIT -&gt; MHT. That was a dark and dismal day but thanks to "Get Out More" I don't have to go out of may way to connect in Philadelphia just to avoid that particular shame anymore http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I nominate Brattflyer for the everlasting Price of Pain. With the Get Off Your Butt and Save Our Airline promotion, the miles to segments ratio is even more meaningless. Thus, to be fair to Brattflyer, we really should not count the second half of the year numbers.

Wasn't sure at the beginning of the year whether I'd come anywhere to achieving silver let alone reachieving gold. Right now, have enough flights purchased/already flown to requalify for silver without any bonii.

terenz, I know everyone here seems to speak in code, but read the threads carefully, fly a little bit, and your every dream will come true.

ATC: have read the threads. Registered for the bonus. If all goes well, We (SP GF and I) could qualify for CP using the various promos - and requla for Gold is almost certain.

For some strange reason we registered for the double tier miles 3+ weeks ago but flights on 27 July didn't get it but 5 August ones did. Having to fly ex-SEA helps. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif
