Thanks Clacko and Crimson!

Clacko - where is the mr stickies posts? Don't see them! I think 2012 will be different from 2011 because I am concentrating on DL. Last year, I used both DL and Continental equally. I also just signed up for a credit card, and debit card, which reward DL SkyMiles.

Crimson - you are correct. I was lazy and did not completely put in the transfers. For instance, "Fri, 1/13 - NYC-LAX - 7a/12:05p - $180 - 2811 MQM/2 segments" has a stop in ATL. Also, I have two flights listed NYC-LAX (1/12 and 1/13) because those are two different options. I may pick one of those two as my outbound, or something completely different!

Re your comment about calculating what's a good, I am still not sure whether to count MQM or MQMs. In 2012, I will probably make three trips from NY-London, 5-6 from NY-LA, and a dozen or so from NY-various destinations in the SouthEast US. Any advice out there on which will get me to Silver (and possibly Gold) quicker?

Also thanks for the explanation re bumps, Crimson!
