= 300+1000 = 1.3M miles for 500k spend = 2.6x miles /$ spend
Then it was 150k for 20k spend and another 150k for 100k spend = 300k bonus for 100k spend
= 300+200 = 500k miles for 100k spend = 5x miles /$ spend
Now it is 150k for 30k spend = 150+60
= 210k bonus for 30k spend over a year = 7x miles /$ spend

It was hard to get the first approval but luckily most of my P9 group were forced to wait and now the miles roll in to our joint account
We almost have too many miles and assuming lost cash of 2.625c per $ spend, our miles are averaging at 5x = 0.525c each
Now to get good transfer bonuses and we are set
I just received an offer for 350,000 C1 points using the Vx - but it requires a massive amount of spending, about $230,000. Obviously not going to be doing that.

Is the 210,000 bonus for $30,000 still available? I haven't seen it anywhere.
