I think I have found most all the answer I need but one.

When booking first class I see that you get 50% bonus qualifying points.
After Gold Status is made they will give a 25% bonus.

If I book a first class ticket will I get the 25% and the 50% both equaling a 75% bonus?

Just trying to calculate out what I need to do to hit Platinum by 12/31/13.

Thanks in advance for answers.
The bonuses add, but don't multiply.

For a 1000 mile flight in paid first class, as a GLD, you'll earn:
  • 1750 redeemable miles (1000 + 500 + 250)
  • 1500 elite qualifying points (1000 + 500; no EQP for the GLD bonus)
  • 1000 elite qualifying miles (neither the GLD bonus nor the class of service bonus count here)
