I'm actually gunning for status (1P) this year from scratch and have 17,897EQM to date. On 3/22 I am doing HNL-LAX-SFO-YVR which adds 3,856EQM. Then on 3/26 I am doing YVR-SFO-LAX which gets me 1,300EQM then a LAX-ORD-MEM-ORD-LAX returning finally on the 27th. This roundtrip is 4,490EQM. In other words, the flight from ORD to MEM on the 27th is my "qualifying" flight with regards to 2P status.

Some (Newbie) Questions I have for you masters of levitation out there:

Will the RDM bonuses be reflected when all these flights do eventually post, or are these flights too closely bunched together? Will I need human intervention to actually get the RDM bonuses on all flights after ORD-MEM?
FYI, after the LAX-MEM trip I fly back to YVR via SEA on the 27th then fly back (home) to HNL via SFO then LAX on the 28th. The 25%RDM bonus isn't much, but considering all these flights are lined up less than 24 hours after I initially qualify to Premier, they do add up so I can't help but wonder...

Also, the 30k or so miles I will have by the end of March, are ALL these miles eligible with regards to 500milers or only miles I fly AFTER status is gained? In other words, will I have 12 500 milers( 4 per 10k right?) to look forward to, or none at all?

Thanks a bunch in advance. Been reading these boards quite a while and at this point the only kinds of questions I have are pretty specific in scope, ie, not easily searched. If its already been asked and answered then my apologies! Eh, I'm just a noob! (<==As if you haven't heard this line before )
