Is anyone here like me? 103 segment CP with US and only 71,350 miles? same on CO! 30 Segment Silver elite, 18,000 miles! Seems most on here are flying the whole wide world and I'm stuck in the USA east of the Mississippi...</font>

I'm with you. I am a member of the "painfully earns my elite status the hardway" club. I have 68 segments so far, only 51k miles (this includes ~15k miles for doing LAX-HNL-LAX and a LAX-LHR-LAX

). Past two years, I have probably ~120+ segments each year, but I barely squeek by 100k miles (and that is with doing a couple of transocean mileage runs!!).

For me to make top level elite on multiple airlines based on my flying patters, I would have to take 300+ flights lax-sjc-lax.
