System Wide Upgrade question
Today I hit 82k EQMs for 2011 and became CO Platinum Elite for the first time. Yay!!! I was a Gold Elite last year. My question is about SWU as on my account at Onepass.com the horizontal bar shows I have completed 25% towards SWU award. Should this not be 82% as my understanding is I need 100k EQM for SWU? Is it worth it to do some mileage run towards the end of the year to get these SWU? Do I need another 18k EQMs or more ( this is related to my earlier question). I looked at CO FAQs which says need 100k EQMs...
Second, can I use the SWU on an international Lfthansa flight, which is partner with United?

That progress bar is based on the 75k->100k jump. Confused me too the first time I saw it but I suppose it makes sense since it doesnt appear until you hit 75k.

and BTW, you will get 2 more CR1s (above the 2 you recieved for 75K EQMs).

What is CR1? I did not get any at hitting 75k EQM? How do I find them?
