I have an additional 15K EQM's posted to my account because of The Great Offer, but have not seen any additional 500 mile upgrades post to my account. This is a little troubling for me, as I have a lot of travel left this year, and don't know if I should invest my time with UAL if I don't receive any additional benefits.

Because of the offer, I will make 1K next week, with approximately 101K EQM's, and only about 70K BIS miles. So the only thing left for me this year with UAL would be flying to earn additional 500 mile upgrades, CR-1, and SWU's.

1. Are the 500 mile upgrades based on BIS miles, or EQM?

2. CR-1 - Not so important an issue to me, because of the cap of 2 per quarter. I will fly at least 10K miles a quarter with UAL to get this bonus.

3. SWU's - If my great offer EQM's count, then I would have a real chance to hit the 250K EQM mark this year, to get the bonus 6 SWU's. Does anyone know what "miles" qualify you for this bonus, and if promotional EQM's count towards this cap?

Although I like UAL a lot, I am tempted to try to get EXP PLAT status with AA unless there is a great benefit for me to stay with UAL for the remainder of the year.

Please advise on where I should spend my travel dollars. Thanks.
