That's a good alternative. I don't think anyone has qualified for your triple/triple either.

I constructed my scale to resemble the triple double in basketball, so I didn't think about elite membership as a qualification.

The 100 or more free car rental days were going to be the hard one in my scale. From the responses only one member thinks they had over 100 free car award days. I was surprised when that member missed on free flights. So nobody has made it so far.

If I changed car days to free status driven flight upgrades then I think we would have quite a few qualify. I have had about 75 segments upgraded on Delta because of status. So I would still miss my triplle/triple. But I still love the free stuff anyway.

It makes for a great vacation when you fly free first class, stay in a high end hotel free of charge, and have a free car at your disposal.
