You may want to read on Cow & DC's adventure before you decide to go all out

Yay. Finally have a seven figure balance. Eight will be a challenge .

Oh and I just requalified for dDiamond. I was worried I wouldn't make it.

Edit: Whoops, they posted with a 2014 date. Still need to work towards dDiamond.

Why do you care about dstinktion? I've never taken advantage of anything from that..

Unlike Cow & DC,90% of mine were in J Cabin.. 75% international. 15% Trans Canada & USA East to West. Many of those on 777& 763.
Only 10% on Dash.
My EYW#1 was same.
Noway I would do 45K+ on Dash not for measly 750K+ aeropesos.

Netted 750K+ travelling in style.

Not speaking for the cow but in my case I often find that a 35% off Market Fare award YYZ-YHZ, which is where I do most of my redemptions, is a better deal than a classic award, even with slightly fewer miles and IKK. I will hit Diamond by the end of next week now that the last lot of bonuses, which were all Distinktion valid, have just posted.

I meant it more as a joke, but the Fairmont promotion code got me a $25 dining credit last night.

There aren't many benefits, but there are some.

All AQMs are DQM, so by being SE you're guaranteed dDiamond. I'm not worried about qualifying at all.

Which is actually this thread

I think the content being refer to is the Google doc that Cow wrote during the trip:
