That is most likely total miles earned from all means and not BIS miles!

Same here, it is COs $500 B Fares to NRT that are doing it for me!

Only every five minutes, your such a novice!

As for competing, I will certainly now look down upon the lowly Silvers and Golds and scoff with utter disdain as I promenade down the jetway...at least for another year.

Once you go PLAT you will never go back! Perhaps you should shout to get those additional 50K miles and give PLAT to someone in the family next year!
Only thing I didnt like about the promo is that is started 7 days after my SEA-IAH-NRT RT in B and ends 15 days before my second trip!
