Regarding our recently launched promotions offering SkyMiles members in select U.S. cities bonus miles and MQMs for travel through December 31, 2010 - we apologize for any confusion. Members enrolled for the promotions will receive double Medallion Qualification Miles/MQMs on all flights flown, whether non-stop or via connections. Double MQMs will be based on total MQMs earned, which includes the standard 50% class of service bonus earned on M class and above fares. All MQMs earned through the promotions will count toward a member’s 2010 MQM balance. Additionally, the round trip bonus miles will be earned based on origin to final destination and return - meaning nonstops to the hubs and then connecting onto final destination on ticket will be awarded the bonus. For example, a member purchases a paid J class roundtrip ticket RDU-JFK-FCO-JFK-RDU, the member would earn double MQMs on all flights and then would earn 50,000 bonus miles for this premium roundtrip international ticket. As for the issue of open jaws, as long as travel is on the same ticket, this will also qualify for the bonus e.g. BNA-ATL-GIG surface EZE-ATL-BNA.
I hope this clears up these open issues - and again apologize for any confusion.
