Definitely luck, the final finish numbers can't be pegged exactly. Only ballpark estimates work for most of us I suspect. Who knows where I finally will end up though...😓😓😓

Do eMCO vouchers work for this promo? I received an email back from customer relations that the use of an eMCO voucher for a booking for EYW wouldn't qualify?

Yes, but you should apply them after travel, not at booking. The eMCOs are treated like PNRs if they cover the majority of your new itinerary base fare, meaning that the 'date created' would likely be the date the eMCOs are issued, thus if you got eMCOs from before the promotion date, it's not eligible anymore.

Like I said a while back, why not just take cash? Cash does NOT expire whereas eMCO does. It's rare for consumers to win against airlines, why give the airlines more opportunities to screw you over?

The flights for the 12th have not been posted yet, be patient! The flight for the 11th posted yesterday.

So after today's refresh which now appears to include July 12th. I'm in #20 position. If I can hold that position after the coming weeks of minor updates than I will be the true "winner" -- flying to least amount and spending the least to earn the most

How do you know the guy in 19th spot didn't spend less than you?

No surprise that FT Prairie Vultures dominate the top twenty (again).

Hmm. I think that makes you and ClanLindsay the luckiest winners at the EYW casino.

I think you have a comfortable enough lead on him

I'm holding 29 with a 1000 point lead and I only added a few segments to already planned trips. Kudos to cow and drunk cargo and the rest for purposely flying all that. After my second extra segment I was already asking myself what the heck was I thinking. IROPS in YYC on the 12th with the ground stopped killed the few other extra segments I'd had planned.

Actually, I'm more impressed by your $3200 spend than by the semantics of the "free" travel. I spent more than that.
(On the other hand, I did earn more points than you...)
(On the other other hand, my extra points were unnecessary, as you're still in the top 20...)

Next time, assuming similar rules, 250k wings. Only thing that will break plans would be either seatkicker or hard IFE screen-poker sitting behind me.
