I'm in the same boat as Pharaoh. Here's my SM account summary:

Mr. SpiritofEcstasy
Membership Level: Gold Medallion
Medallion® Qualification Miles (Year to date): 69286
Current SkyMiles Mileage Balance 660537
Million Miler™ Miles 275040

I'm going to go PM any day now thanks to the Double MQM promotion and the SM Platinum Amex. The miles shown above are after a 112,500 mile deduction for a December roundtrip to HNL in F on DL. All my flying is domestic, usually with one paid trip to Hawaii each year, so normally, I need all the MQMs I can get. My only practical use for miles is to upgrade (30K) on that paid ticket. Maybe I need to look at using some for a CRC membership.
