Was trying to find some good SEA-DFW-BOS itineraries with the Flt 1230 red-eye out of SEA but nothing good on weekends during the promo period. Guess its not that bad since this is only EQM (no RDM bonus) and I'm already going to be over 100k EQM after my next trip in 2 weeks. I'm just a slave to the miles acquisition

Totally agree - have one coming up next week and not looking forward to it. All my UGs cleared except the redeye at the window so now I'm just trusting that my EXP will come through.

If I CFC to a DFW connection to BOS will I get DEQM?
I've got to go back to BOS again later in the month, but we're required to book the ticket at lowest fare which was through ORD.
Anyone know if I CFC and/or standby to a routing through DFW on the day of departure can I get DEQM for this changed SEA-DFW-BOS too? or will it still show as "ticketed" for SEA-ORD-BOS for the purposes of this promo?
I'm willing to pay $75 out of pocket to earn DEQM in this case since the ticket cost is all biz.

This is no doubt stating the obvious, but be sure to take aadvantage of several discount codes for BOS in the Promo/ discount code requests thread. (In the first post)

If this were double RDM I'd consider it just to bump up more miles, but only DEQM doesn't help when I'm already at 92k YTD and the Elite Bonus is based on EQP and not EQM. As it is, I'm debating whether to go for status/match on UA just to get more flight & redemption options.

I acutally like that Flt 1230, although it does typically get delayed a bit due to incoming aircraft. I book 1230 frequently since it means I can get in a full day of work and then head out that night while still getting to Texas or the East coast at at decent time. But I'm able to catch a bit of sleep on it and I've not missed an upgrade on it in over 3 years. There was one I was going to miss but they asked for volunteers for a $300 voucher. I got in line for that but the guy in front of my was all they needed. Just happened that he had been in F and they moved me up as a result of his VDB.

On the same page that double RDM would be nice, but wrapping DEQM into some planned travel makes the EQM bonus a great benefit.

Just booked a one-day turn BOS-DFW-SFO. $301ai using the 8% promo code. 12,104EQM (BOSEQ & DEQ11). That's 2.5cpm. What a deal!
Agree it is a good flight for productivity, but I'd prefer to be on a full transcon where I can actually get 4.5 hrs rest and feel pretty decent the next day.

Did I do the math right? JFK-BOS-DFW-SFO-DFW-BOS-JFK is 10,154 EQMs using this promo? 500+1558*2+1461+1461+1558*2+500
Bummed I don't get to use DEQ11 with my rents living in CA but not worth the risk. $456 a.i. ($328 if I cut out the JFK-BOS R/T but I wanted to splurge on an extra $50 and not get stuck on a 6hr bus). Not including the promo/discount.
