You don't have to actually *fly* the flight.

Just *book* it.... can be from anywhere to anywhere else at any time ...even in 2012.

You book it as fully refundable for a short hop. Then, using continental.com you use the "elite maximizer "for the flight. This will cost around $0.11/mile to use. This gets you the extra EQM you need. ( make sure to click the option to get EQMS! - not jsut extra RDMs)

Once done, these new extra EQMs are creditied your account for THIS calandar year.

Voila! You're over 100k


Once you see those maximizer miles appear in your EQM tally, go back and cancel that flight that you book as a fully refundable fare.
