2016 MVP/MVPG/MVPG 75K Qualification Roll Call

Is it too early to post this?

I am having some extensive travel plans in January and February on AS, I might be able to make 75k again by early Feb.

It's never too soon to think about elite status I was running numbers on my flight yesterday, lamenting that it was done using miles so it wouldn't count for EQM.

Or he's doing a couple of turns to Europe on Delta in J. That 75% bonus helps a ton.

Holy Mile Runs, Batman!!!

Good luck on those upgrades or your tush is going to be pretty darn tired. There's no way I'd pile that many non-essential trips into that short of a space without knowing if I'd upgrade. That said, I'm holding domestic tickets for just over 36,000 miles through late March.

IMO, those Recaro seats in Y were designed by the same folks who brought Enhanced Interogation Techniques to the CIA ...

Lucky that work covers the flights.

Does AS even offer benefits to those who fly more than 75K EQM? Something like what US currently offers and what AA used to offer?
