Just boarded flight 833 to Charlotte. This pushes me over to CP.

Can you all see the little jig I am doing? Woohoo!!!

IIRC, you're enrolled in the Trial Preferred program, so that means you've done a whole lot of flying in 90 days.....wow! Congrats, you've earned it ^

I feel like I know more than my share of US FA's these days. Its scary when you at a connection in PHX, PHL, or CLT and recognize them from the flight the other day!

I checked this morning, my status has already been updated. I almost feel like I should book a flight just to go somewhere!

Congrats.

Just hit CP on my BOS-PHX last night. All the FA's were laughing about my 4 day ORD-PHX-RNO-PHX-PHL-PBI-CLT-BOS-PHX-RNO-PHX-ORD turn. I love it!

Wouldn't it have been easier/cheaper/saner to just buy up to CP?

You don't get the miles for buying status outright. Only time in my opinion to buy up is after Dec 31st.

Congrats! I am off to Rome today to put me over the 100K (and 112 segments) mark later this evening. This will be my first time hitting CP.

My trips this week will get me to CP because of the Race to Preferred promo. 12/9: BOS-PHL-FLL 12/10: FLL-PHL-SFO 12/12: SFO-CLT-BOS

I would have made Plat anyway, but the 32K miles since 10/6 will get me to the next level.

We all have put in some time to get there, so my congratulations to you all. Now, I will have to fly the 100k next year, which will probably happen.

Any of you up for doing a "Do" somewhere? Might be fun, although if were all on the same flight, some of us might end up in coach

On another note, I submitted my Silver nomination last night after 5 PM and it was done before 10 AM this morning. Kind of funny to see my wife's account with 0 miles and Silver status.

But she will start flying US to BOS and PHL instead of AirTran now.

I too am in the same boat - this week OAK->PHX->DTW Tuesday puts me to Plat for the year. The return DTW->PHX->OAK on Friday will put me at 30,574 since October 1st (not that I am counting ). So I will be Plat for a month then CP. WooHoo

I should re-qualify next week with 45 miles to spare, flew MHT-PHL-CLT this week instead of BOS-CLT to get the extra few miles I needed, two 500 mile segments instead of one 727 mile segment were just enough to get me to 100,045 miles and 100 segments for the year.
