I'm currently GLD, and thinking of doing the PLT Challenge...
Could you confirm I'll make it with the following plan?
Sign up for the 11/1 start date...
11/1
LGA - YYZ - LGA
N Ticket
714mi = 357 EQPs
(Signed up for Double EQP Promotion)
So, 357 x2 = 714 EQP.
11/29
LGA - STL - DFW
L Ticket
1438 mi = 1438 EQPs
1438 x2 = 2876
Dec 26
JFK-LHR
V ticket.
3451 mi = 3451 EQP
Jan 4
LHR - JFK
V Ticket
Dec 26
JFK-LHR-JFK, V ticket.
3451 mi = 3451 EQP
Total EQP = 10,422
So, I should be good to go, right?
Also, this means I go Platinum during the return flight from London. Sorry for not totally getting this - will I get the Platinum bonus for that flight?
Thanks in advance!!
Tafjajosh- You will not earn double EQP with the DBEQM promo. That promo only earns double elite qualifying miles, and challenges are based only on points. You will need an additional ~1300 eqp. Perhaps you can see what it would cost to upfare one of your LHR legs to get the 1.5 EQP per mile?? Don't know if that would be more cost effective than finding a 1300 mile itinerary that earns 1 EPQ/Mile or not.
