Yes, it is odd, but maybe they expected those within 10,000 miles to realistically be able to make it within the 3 months. Remember most people are not like FTers.

Think how funny it would sound if they said, "Only flew 10,000 miles in 2002? Fly 15,000 miles more in Q1 2003 and make Premier for 2003!" Out of the regular population, who is going fly 50% more in 75% less time?

My boyfriend and I were 15,000 miles away from PremEx and I noticed that the agent specifically asked if we could could fly the necessary miles by the end of the promo.

I think they wanted to make a promotion that was simple to understand, and look how much FTers are struggling with questions about miles counting towards both 2003 and 2004. Yet, they left the loophole for people to call in and not be turned away if they wanted to signup.
