Here are some real numbers.
Mrs SG and I will each fly 59 actual flights for 79 EQS's and just over 75k EQM'S (60056 BIS miles) this year for Platinum. Our average flight will be 1018 miles.
All of our travel is domestic and 16 of the flights are 500 mile minimums for 152 actual mile flights.
Our projected flying in 2009 is 20 trips EWR-IAH-MSY-IAH-EWR at 3830 EQM, 3134 BIS and 80 EQS totaling 76600 EQM, 62680 BIS and 80 EQS for Platinum.
We're probably not that atypical for domestic only Plats but certainly a different story than those who do EWR-Asia.
I don't think that you can derive any meaningful numbers from the limited data you have available.
