The free SDC benefit is one of the best premier perks, IMO. To @jsloan's point in the previous post, it's not uncommon to SDC from ORD-SFO to ORD-TUS-SFO....

While frowned upon by the FT community, it's also possible to SDC a 2nd time, once you've departed. For example, before boarding your ORD-SFO flight, you could SDC to ORD-TUS-SFO. And then, before boarding your TUS-SFO flight, you could SDC to TUS-LAX-SFO. As others have mentioned, it's an easy way to pick up PQM's and PQS' if you have the time.
