Okay... I'm going to keep asking potentially dumb questions as I'm still trying to figure this all out.

When I was reading about the multipliers above I thought MVP, etc. was being discussed. I didn't even realize you could get bonuses for buying higher fares. So, setting aside the higher fare's purchased and assuming no bonus at that point, how do the bonus miles for being MVP, MVPG or MVP75K work with respect to the EQMs and the 50% promotion?

Say I'm an MVP Gold (says I get 100% bonus on base miles earned) and I fly 1000 miles - is it 1000 (base) + 1000 (MVPG bonus) = 2000 X 50% promotion bonus = 3000 EQMs

Or, 1000 (base) X 50% promotion = 1500 + 1000 (MVPG bonus) = 2500

Or, is it neither and I'm doing it all wrong???

Thank you to you seasoned road warriors for helping out a newbie!
