Thanks everyone. I have been a WP base member since 2002. My activity up till this year was minimal at best. Classes, EQMs, segments didn't matter much to me then.

Now I have a job that requires me to travel 2 or 3 times a month so I called NW about an elite challenge, they said they would sign me up for it but I would have to complete 2 RTs in a couple months to keep it till next year. The flights have to be in class Y, S, X or B.

I told them I would talk to my travel agent about it since I have been booked in L, Q, M and V lately and I don't know how much more these full fare classes will take.

It looks like I'll have 3 or 4 trips in April however the first one to San Luis Obispo has a leg from LAX to there operated by American Eagle, so I don't know if this would count as a RT since she said it has to be on certain NW and partner planes.

I might have to pay the difference my self which I guess is fine, quicker to gain status this way I think. Hopefully I will have this all figured out tomorrow.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it!
