My second 5K was credited today - good for NW for honoring the higher amount in the email.

I usually go to Europe each fall on vacation and part of the motivation is to make elite. Now with this 10K and my scheduled travel I'll make elite w/o the fall trip overseas. Probably rethink the Europe vacation and do something closer to home this year. So at least in my situation, this thank you means a few thousand less in revenue that I'll generate for NW in 2009.
