LOR7WAN fare, many same day opportunities. Checked for 1/9 and 1/16. A nice way to get a jump on status for 2008. Routing SMF-SFO-ORD-IND and return will get you more than 5600 EQMs for $175, with 12,200 RDMs counting on-line booking and elite bonuses. Use a $75 e-cert, and you can net 7,200 RDMs (1.4 cpm) and 1.8 cpeqm. With a little scheduling, you can also get on a big bird on the ORD-SFO legs. Taken to a ridiculous extreme (depending, obviously, on availability and whether you actually have a life), you could make 1K on 18 RTS for $1800 using the e-certs while netting more than 125K RDMs.

Do this twice, fly over 10,000 and also get 4 x 500 milers, good for minimum 2000 RDM. (seems that's what happens to 90% of my 500s, at least...)
Add 1000 RDM to each RT to get 13,200, netting 8200 RDM for $100... 1.22cpm
And if you do not use the e-cert, still get 1.33 cpm...
Plus, if you have no other plans (there are some out there...), add in the 2 CR1s for 1ks
A pretty good find.
