1.3% doesn't sound like a lot.. but 1 out of 100 folks aren't amazing odds either.

Might do an after work SEA-PDX run in F on a weekday... 2250 miles under $0.05 per mile, plus a few drinks and dinner in the lounge, seems like a nice evening

Out of curiosity, which SF conference isn't cancelled?

Is there a grammarian and a mathematician in the room?
I’m not quite sure what “getting there 50% faster” actually means...

seems like x fare LAX-SJC is $20. So RT $40. X fare is also valid for EQMs (?)
based on that promotion, one will get 1500 EQM for a RT.
so MVPG 40000/1500 = 27 RTs.
27*40 = $1080
At the same time, a MVPG can get 80000 RDMs...
just a hypothetical situation!

I just did JFK-SFO-JFK on Tuesday from the BOGO sale at 2.07 cpm.
Fares are now double that (obviously) so with a 50% EQM bonus... the EQMs at least come up to 2.55 cpm. RDMs are at 3.8 cpm.
That just isn't quite worth it to me yet
Perhaps my situation will change as the month progresses.

I'm seeing some SEA-PDX runs in I class for $69 each way. How much would that earn with this bonus? Would it be the 500 minimum + 375 = 875 + 437.5 = 1312.5 EQM? I'm assuming that is not the case, but would be nice!

"... The bonus elite-qualifying miles awarded as part of this promotion apply only to the number of miles that count toward elite status qualification and will not be available for redemption...."
First class eqm bonus counts towards elite status qualification, so I think it's eligible for the 50% as well. If true, a 1000 mile flight in paid first would generate 1000 + 750 = 1750 X 1.5 = 2625 eqms.

Is it: 1000 + 750 + 500 = 2250
Or does it stack? 1000 x 1.75 x 1.5 = 2625
