The double miles promotions sound good, I hope US does something like that as well. Is Grand Slam anything that could help me get to status?

Sorry if that's a stupid question but I'm new to this stuff.
You JUST missed a promo that would have been great for you. Until August 31st, they were offering Trial Preferred Silver Status (normally $200) for free. You simply had to fly 10 segments or 7500 miles on US metal in 90 days to lock in Silver until Feb 2011, or if you flew more, you could achieve higher status. A shame you missed it!
