Creative Solution for 1631 Elite Miles
I am a newbie to CO Onepass and was status matched to Platinum in 2011. This year I am nearly earning it but i have run out of flights for the year and have only 1 more flight BDL to ROC left. I need 1631 Elite Miles for 2011 Platinum and I am now regretting taking Air India to Frankfurt instead of Singapore back in May.
From searching the forum I can see that only flights earn Elite Miles. I found a route BDL-WAS-ROC-WAS-BDL on UA but then found it was a v fare collecting only 1x 1270 miles not 1.5. The routes via PHL and LGA just do not have the miles.
Any creative suggestions from you experts on CO
Thanks

Since you are already elite, you get 500 min EQM for each segment. Your route would get you 2,000.
