If we "Triple Elite Miles", you are saying that not only will the first segment be posted in 2010, but the "bonus elite miles" will ALL post in 2010? So if we are taking a 2000 mile R/T, 1000 miles in Dec and 1000 miles in Jan, and we "triple", that he will get 5000 miles posted to 2010, and the remainder 1000 posted in 2011??? If this is correct, this could work out very well indeed!

yes, choose the triple miles with "maximizer" your double miles and double eqms should show up on your acct shortly. your 1000 flight miles will post normally (in 2010) and your return 1000 should post for 2011 earnings .^
