ExMo - My AA mileage figure is slightly higher than yours (104k) based on BA EC Handbook & the AA reervation figures + Asia miles - I'm not sure AM are actual miles though. The Q-points (which I didn't know how to calculate) and the base miles are similar so I guess it's how I've calculated when I go to Gold and Platinum.

Still from standard to Platinum on one trip isn't bad & adding so many miles. I'll get to go into 2003 with the aim of doing this trip twice and ending up with EXP !!

Do your Q-points reset to 0 for each new membership year ?

Thanks to all for your help with this - we finally made it
