I just got an e-mail for a targeted "10-Segment Challenge" that requires 10 full fare segments to be flown within certain time periods:

I've been trying to come up with creative itineraries that can knock off as many segments as possible with a couple of trips. I spoke to customer service and they said that each segment on the itinerary will count toward the 10 required. So if I fly SAN-LAX-SBA-LAX-SAN on the same ticket, that will be four segments. I thought I might do that one and a SAN-LAX-SNA-SFO-SNA-LAX-SAN trip for the other six.

100,000 miles is a pretty good incentive.
Does anyone have any creative suggestions?
