Ugh. Segment qualifying. IMHO, the toughest way to go. I've always thought they should give the segment qualifiers priority over the mileage qualifiers within the same tier. I guarantee you've spent more time with AS doing 30 segments vs my 4 TCONs (and probably spent a ton more money, too, but let's not go to revenue )

Yeah it's pretty brutal. I only fly up and down the west coast with a midwest jaunt 1-2 times a year. Being in BLI means that it's 4 segs every time I go somewhere though. It would be nice if they lowered the seg requirements a bit but oh well. The free beer on QX makes up for it ^

#2 extra hot
All good though and they have quite the variety. TSA will want to inspect carry-on though

BLI is my home airport too, so I know what you mean with 4 segment minimum. I will say the Gold mileage bonus is nice on top of that 500 minimum. I did have a few transcons earlier this year so earned gold with mileage already but now am looking at 75K potentially with segments.

I hit the 75k mark with my SEA BUR SEA flight last week 
still have a lot more flying this year to do, so I may use my coupons now that I made my 75k status again

finally re-qualified for MVP 2016 on AF673 MSP-CDG on 8/4/15, assuming I get the miles for it. it's going to be a close call on whether i make it back to MVPG, with one more trip back to AMS this year and a remaining transcon on the books. we need to buy tickets yet to MIA/EYW as well, and i expect a remaining trip to STL. i have a couple of cheap LAX-BWI mileage runs booked for later this fall if i need them.

My travel spreadsheet shows that I'm on track to requalify for 75K on a flight in late September. That's the plan, unless I have to make changes in the trips that are currently on the books.
Here's my current puzzler: The AS website shows my mileage accrual being 286 miles *more* than my current spreadsheet total. For the life of me, I can't find the error - and I recall that the two running totals were exactly the same up until my last trip between ANC and JNU.

Mystery solved, thanks to the tactful fare class reminders provided by beckoa and Kieron.
