To play the devil's advocate a little here (me???! )FFaddict has been around for 4 months, and surely must have seen many threads on this, as I certainly have. A first week user I can understand asking, but not an older one.

IMHO this thread was raised in the wrong forum anyway, and again after 4 months these definition things usually make more sense.

Yes UBB search engines are slow UNLESS you work in one forum only.

And all this aside, to part answer the question, there is NO WAY UA will comp you to 1K, their 100,000 mile equivalent, based on matching ANY other programs' 100,000 mile program - in my opinion. They seem to guard that level like momma bear. Spend $50,000 a year and prove it and they MAY look at it, but I would not hold my breath even then.

40,000 odd current 1Ks out of 38 million MP members tells the story of how close that one level is guarded.

Six weeks and I'll have earned my 1K silver card the hard way, and will be just as pleased to know that it STAYS a tough club to get into without "doing the time".
