2010 Race to PLT / EXP
Hopefully not a duplicate. Wanting to see how fast folks get to requal in 2010 for PLT & EXP. No wagers on me, as my schedule doesn't front load it. I'm just curious to see when the first person hits 100seg/100KEQM/100KEQP in 2010.
Ready, set, go.

Membership year ends at the end of February.
Either way, this really is a "ready, set, wait" since requalification efforts will not start until Jan. 1.
EDIT:
Gamecock beat me to it

And I am already off the mark with several cheap NYC/West Coast flights (LGA/DFW/LAX/JFK now going for $198++), a cheap flight to SJU for a few days in February (yes warm
) and a few more cheap flights to ORD, OKC, MSP, and LIM.

And I am thankful AA has a soft landing, 'cause I probably wouldn't even hit GLD otherwise! 
Last January 1 had 7K miles on 1 Jan and it took until July to reach EXP.

Again, ready, set, go. Let me know who's got the fastest to 100Km/Kp/Segs in 2010. A bonus shout out (or some other prize tbd) for that person who gets there. (mind you, I have nothing interesting to give as a prize
)

With all respect intended, no, I'm trying to see who's the fastest to PLT/EXP in 2010 travel -- which, IIRC, the qual year starts Jan 1. I was wondering who'd be the first to re-qual (yes, for 2011) in 2010 travel.

Unless there's another x2 EQM promo like this year (had two! ^), it's going to be a really bleak travel year for me. Only 13,000 measily EQMs set from 1/1~4/18/2010, one of which includes a trip to YUL in the middle of February

Similar, on my end. About 5K per month, depends on both DEQM and other promos. I think I'll end up up with about 90K unless DEQM comes or I take a MR or two.

With about 400K miles banked, I plan to travel as I am 01/07 Jan...via AAdvantage AAwards. I, too, am grateful for the soft landing.
