Miles credit will be posted to the member's account between January 15, 2009 and February 28, 2009, and the maximum credit that can be earned is 10,000 miles.

I did not realize this bonus was for the entire calendar year of 2008.

Let's see, to realize the maximum credit of 10K miles, one must nominate for 3P status someone who has been a GM until now, who will go from <25K EQM last year to 200K EQM this year. How many people are likely to do that?
