It's my first time trying a MR, so I'll let you check my calculations first.

I'm Premier Executive this year, so I get 100% EQM bonus.

I have 30,846 EQM now, and I'm going to HK on UA over Christmas. UA says I'll get 35,556 (including the bonus.) So I'll be back in Baltimore on 12/26 with 66,402 and I'd like to make the new 75K level.

So when I get back I'll be short 8598 EQM or 4299 flight miles with five days to go in the year.

Should I make some reservation now, or hope I can find some last minute deal?

Thanks!
