There's still hope. Only 30 out of the 44 invoices have been paid and tomorrow we will erase all invoices and clear the standby list

So if you've received the invoice, make sure you pay today.

As mentioned before, I have the SEA Westin booked for Fri/Sat night at the SMD2 rate. Due to my primary program having a hotel not far from the Westin & at a rate not to be believed (thanks to the FTer for giving me the heads up on LNF & EEO combo), I won't be staying at the Westin. I know some people posted they were having problems getting the Westin at SMD2 prices. Presuming the Westin will let me make the transfer, PM me if you want the reservation. Otherwise I'll just cancel it.

Cheers.

I may resort to begging if necessary. Desperately need those EQMs and the extra space will keep me and the person who otherwise has to squeeze in next to me much happier...

Rooms are transferable.

I also have a room that a member won't use so please send an email to [email protected] if you need a room at the Westin for 146+

Or don't pay and let the standbys have em!

So how long did the list get?

xenonym

yea I was wondering too b/c I didn't see the email til 1.5 hrs after it arrived in my Inbox. Responded immediately, but no invoice. I know I'm at least #45 I suppose.

So is the total available number of 'Tommy class' seats -- currently 34 (28+6 added)?

Great!

But will there be a corkscrew on board??? (Sorry -- couldn't resist. I hope this post doesn't get me booted out of F; do not pass Tommy Class; do not collect $200.)

Tommy posted it last night (12:26am ET). I only saw it when I took t look at the thread after 6am ET this morning. (I then suggested to Oliver that he might want to send an e-mail blast to folks -- as I know that there are many who don't look at this thread or FT - regularly!)

So, the e-mails went out this morning, but the info. had been posted for several hours -- by that time! However, as much as there were many who responded, via e-mail, to this offer -- not everyone who received invoices chose to make their payment immediately. So, essentially, it's 'first-come, first-served' in regards to this offer, -- as the payment for the charter (ie. CO) was due a while ago, and there's already a 'history' here of folks expressing interest in the beginning, but not following through in a prompt manner, -- hence the angst for the organizers! I am pleased that Tommy was able to put together such a compelling offer to eliminate the deficit!^

Serves me right to put work over FT and not keep checking FT.

Well the good thing (for Tommy) is that these are all people who have paid up for the charter and not bailed, so they're more likely to follow through on prompt payment. I still have my fingers crossed that I'm far enough up on the "standby" list, but based on my email time and the timestamps of the posts talking about counts, I would say my chances are slim.

In either case, it seems money will no longer be a concern, leaving us all to just count the days until the craziness begins...

So if you have UA how does it work for EQMS and RDM

LIH Prem

I believe this is what we know for UA so far ...

100% miles in both directions EQM/RDM plus class of service EQM bonuses for F pax only (not Tommy Class pax on UA) and status RDM bonuses. You get credit for both directions even if you aren't returning to IAH.

So that is approximately 4031 BIS miles total. Add COS and Status bonuses if appropriate.

UA hasn't responded about a bonus for Tommy Class yet. Message was don't count on it for UA according to Tommy earlier in this thread. If it happens, that will be a nice addition. If not, we should be ok with it if you signed up/paid for Tommy Class and are crediting the charter flight to UA.

So here's an example for me. I am 1k in Y on the charter*, so I will expect to get:

- ~4031 EQM Base
- ~4031 RDM Base + ~4031 RDM 1K Status bonus.

I hope I got that right

I think most UA 1Ks probably only care about the EQMs if they care about anything. But maybe that's just me.

* I'm actually in Tommy Class, but for now that's the same as being in Y for UA EQM/RDM.

So, am I reading something wrong, or would I, as a basic, non-status member get 4200 miles if I choose to have them credited to UA, and 8400 if I choose US?

LIH Prem

I believe that's correct, according to what Tommy posted recently.
