Gosh how complicated ....

I need to change my strategy to keep up with this mathematics.

My goal was to get my 600K miles on LH/LX this year and collcet the rest --meaning my UA miles -- on MP....then again I wonder if this is smart, as I am interersted in award miles rather than another posh (black/ puke green card called 1K )

But flysurfer might enlighten me....

So assuming I can get my 600k on LH metal this year, and I fly another 50K BIS in F on UA (so about 120k?? in MP EQM??, asuming I start off as a 1P level - complimentary level)

I should get the 1K level (6SWU) and if I things go along well I might even land the GK level ??? But what if I just miss the 1K as some trips might be postponed ??? WHat then; did I waste the miles ??? I could also not put any FF number on my UA flights and then decide afterwards, once I can be sure I reach 1K ...


Is this right flysurfer ?????

So is this really the best strategy for my mileage earning ????

Now it gets tricky on the award side so something for weero how difficult is it to get C or F awards to AUS on UA or NZ..

Which opens up another possibility as I want a few awards to NZ shall I collect on NZ and go for gold (I can't get gold elite due to lack of flying sufficiently NZ, but does htis give me better chances to grab a NZ C ward ??


Or shall I just put everything on LH and go maximizing my wards on LH ??????

Wow now I completely hijacked the thread !!!!
