EQM - Other ways to earn?
First post, so please forgive me if this has been covered. I searched the rest of this section and didn't see it.
It's the end of the year and I need to get some more EQM to maintiain my Silver Elite status. Is there a list of ways other than flying on CO to get the miles? If such a list doesn't exist, does anyone have some quick suggestions? It seems to me that CO is particularly stingy when handing out EQM for partner activities.
I'm looking at a MR, too, but trying to work that around a possible end of year vacation trip.
Many thanks and I've enjoyed reading this forum - always good advice. About time I delurked.

there was a targeted offer earlier this year with 3000 EQMs for a continental world mastercard. other than that you have to fly.

Domestically within the US 49, your options are
CO (if booked on co.com, you'll earn at least 100% of flown miles, with a minimum of 500 per segment)
DL (watch out: 50% EQM on fare classes L, U and T)
NW (watch out: 50% EQM on fare classes V, L, T and K)
AS (also 100% on all fare classes)
and Amtrak if you are in the northeast corridor.
