I'd hate to have 70K or 80K+ miles and not hit EXP, so sorry you were so close and may have to chalk 2003 up to experience....

Ratio is points to miles. That makes your ratio 0.854. To achieve a 1.4 ratio with your mileage, you'd have to come up with a point balance of 134.4 (i.e., mostly first and some business class travel).

This is a little bit off topic, but here is my case:
YTD Elite Qualifying Miles: 101,647
YTD Elite Qualifying Points: 79,566 (I'm only a college student)
Status: PLATINUM
Is there something in the rules I am missing?
I thought 100k+ QMiles = EXP???
Should I call someone???

I'm kind of worried because I remember the status on the website being updated automatically (i.e. when I made GLD and PLT).

. By the morning it'll probably be all set (or the next day at most.) Don't forget to update your PNRs where applicable. Congrats!!!

..and remember to go in and request upgrades for every domestic segment, if you're not already on the list. One of the best perks of EXP

Thanks to all at FT for all the useful tips, and especially to timid_trnchcoat for suggesting the 4300 mile BOS-MIA-RSW-MIA-ORD-BOS $160 MR that made the final stretch for the 100k miles possible.
