I just read this: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milea...lick-here.html

So I am doing my homework, and realize my OP was a bit hasty.

Here are a few of my circumstances:

• I have ~80,000 eqms
• My goal is 100,000 eqms by Dec 31
• I can get to anywhere in the US on my company's dime on Thu night, but need to be back in a US hub by Sun evening
• I can travel pretty much any weekend between now and end of year
• My goal is to achieve 100,000 eqm's as cheaply and painlessly as possible (so flexible budget)
• Non-airline travel would also be very interesting to me (I seem to remember in the past you could get EQMs at end of year for buying magazines and flowers... has this ended, can't find on UAL.com or CO.com)

Thanks again!! I'll keep doing my homework, but look forward to any suggestions!
