I am in the same catch 22 as you. My numbers are not what was expected, and if I am wrong, would rather know now so I can book one last MR.

OTOH, since ALL of my flights are of the SFO-ORD-SFO variety, I agree that it should be fairly easy and logical to calculate (and explain to the EXP desk, if needed) the EQMs & RDMs I should have by the end of January:

(1846 x 2 x 3) = 11,076 x [# of r/t] = 2012 YTD EQM balance

(1846 x 2) = 3,692 x [# of r/t] = 2012 RDM bonuses from DEQ11

So, pulling back from DEFCON 1 to DEFCON 5, will wait until all runs are completed to see where the chips fall and the miles settle.

After just rereading your other post, I went back and had a second look at my data and finally calculated and matched to the exact mile on AA.com. I can confirm that you are correct with your #2 assumption:
TEQM for flights up to 1/12 (for SFO/ORD flights), DEQM only for flights from 1/13-1/15.
Hopefully that helps as a second data point!

Well, in my case, the math is easy enough to figure out since all of my flights are SFO-ORD-SFO, and all r/t occur in January during the TEQM (and only one occurs during the DEQM in February). I have no other AA flights booked (other than the OWMD charter, of course - look forward to meeting you!)

The extra conundrum that I was worried about in my situation (and I gather from yours, as well), is that IRROPS caused a rebooking onto UA for one of my segments. While I received ORC for the rebooked non-AA segment, my original PNR itinerary was changed to show an outbound segment on AA, but a return on UA. So a small part of me is worried that for this one r/t, that it won't be processed properly.

But regardless, I am confident of the math, so I think in my case, since I only have three more r/t to ORD, I'll just wait for the dust to settle, then make sure that all RDMs and EQMs square away. I still have last year's set of eight SWUs (good through 02/2013) sitting in my account, so it's not like I'm itching to get the next set of eight good through 02/2014 immediately.

Thanks. Hmm, so that makes me wonder if in fact the IRROPS r/t was omitted from the sweep. That would make sense, going off of your data.

Still, I'll just wait until I finish my last three runs before I detail the discrepancy. I mean, with six more SFO-ORD segments, it's entirely possible (gulp!) that more IRROPS will occur.

Woohoo made it to gold today with the sweep! Called the gold desk to switch all my seats to exit row... The agent seemed impressed that I hit gold so early, then after looking at my other tickets she said, "oh your doing that mileage run thing" lol... Exit rows are going to make the 3 back to back sfo-Ord-sfo ever so much more bearable.

Will be interesting to find out if I run into the same problem since I had my return flight cancelled and booked on a CO flight.

so far, 4 for 4 in upgrades. Although one flight cleared the day off.

Also just bought one more MR:
1575 DFW-SFO 25JAN 9:20 PM
2042 SFO-DFW 26JAN 12:25 AM

Ahh, this make more sense, and more likely scenario. My laptop was most likely in full performance/power mode when I first plugged it in. Then when I was fiddling with it, but probably dropped to battery/low-power mode, thus reducing the current draw to the outlet, thus working. It was just the timing of me rotating the plug that perhaps caused me to misattributed how to get the outlet working.

The DFW-SFO-DFW trips have been between $99 and $109 each way usually right up until the 7-day out mark. Trying to squeeze in another 3-4 the last week in January but looks like they are up to $159 each way.

Did they just jump? Any thoughts as to whether I should book now or give it a few days to see if it comes back down?

My TQMs posted today from my SFO-ORD segments on 1/9 and 1/10. No DRMs showing though. Probably just have to wait.

Anyone at ORD AC this morning?

There was a big sweep overnight for me, but the numbers seem off. Anybody like a puzzle?

YTD Elite Qualifying Points 6,272
YTD Elite Qualifying Miles 28,043
YTD Elite Qualifying Segments 8
Miles Towards Elite Upgrades 3,692

I'll leave aside the fact that the number of EQMs should be even, since I have taken an even number of flights.

I have taken 3 RTs ORD-SFO, which is (1846*6)= 11076 BIS
Also a RT to LGA: (733+733)= 1466 BIS

No other flights this year. So the segments are right. They even got the separate Gold points bonus right as I crossed over on the 5th ORD-SFO trip (Challenge)

Total BIS is 12540. If doubled, that's 25080. Or going by the EQPs, it should be 6272*2 = 12544, which doubled is 25088.

So some part of the IL/TX/CA bonus has posted, I guess, but it's around 2950, and I can't figure that out. Also not sure about the "miles for elite upgrades" at 3692.

I received TEQM for 2x ORD-SFO-ORD, with the exception of 512 EQM per segment. This leaves me 2048 short of the expected 1846*12. Has anyone else seen this?

uxb

I got all of my EQM. RDM is MIA.
