I flew 8 segments in the past couple of weeks and in addition to the 16k EQM miles (shweet - 2 more segments to max out, glad I only flew United twice last year during my 3-month Great Offer period), I got 8 500-mile upgrades dumped in my account. Not too bad for two connections through Denver from IAD, so like 16k EQM and about 9k regular = 25k EQM and all the upgrades. I'm a couple thousand short of my next 10k interval so another 4 upgrades should be in the bag this week.
I didn't know the Great Offer EQM miles counted towards upgrades, what a pleasant surprise
