For now:
AA: 10
CO: 3
USAir: 4
UA: 1
Would probably get four more itineraries done in a little bit. This is the most I have got for my life so far. Waiting to see if I have to go to Seoul, Japan and Honolulu for 2010 and 2011. Have to get all the miles squeezed into the same year so I'll get the max out of *A and OneWorld for the next 12-24 months.

I'm up to 5, having had none for a portion of the spring.
Had one ticket booked before the STL 3xRDM/2xEQM promo was announced (STL-ORD-BOS-DCA-STL).
After the promo came out, quickly booked two Europe mileage runs for late fall (STL-DFW-ORD-FRA-DFW-ORD & STL-DFW-MAD-JFK-MIA-STL).
Then planned two other trips to take AAdvantage of places I wanted to go along with the promo (STL-DFW-SJC-LAX-STL and STL-DFW-RNO-DFW-STL).
Definitely open to more runs if there are good fares this fall.

Have 5 booked....and I'd like that to be it for the year.
It will bring us to 98,995. I'm going to try pleading for a pre-2011 judgment on whether this is enough for EXP...but I fully expect to be told that they won't decide until next year, and will have to book another trip. Of course, if it's two minimum legs, that will bring us to 99.995...wonder if that will be close enough
Cheers.

It seems from time to time AA in response to WN has SFO/LAX $98++ r/t, which can be done on a same day turn Saturday. Personally, I would feel better pleading my case at 5 miles short of EXP. And to me, the extra $100 or so for the flight is well worth the price of retaining EXP through February 2012. Enjoy the LAX AC for a few hours (might even see somebody famous).
Cheers.

Erp... actually, that's $90 (pre-tax) now. $132.80 AI; tried Sat, Sept 14th picked at random to see what the $59 fare came to with taxes. So very good for a quick 2k miles for those close to a threshold.
