Perhaps I am really sleepy, but could you explain to me how you arrived at this amount. I get a RT is 5,222 miles. Double that for EXP bonus, so now you are at 10,444 miles. Add the 200 miles for purchasing on an AA credit card, and now you are at 10,644. Where are the other 10,000 miles coming from?

Thanks
