Too bad the option to select fares available for onepass offers is no longer available under fair type on the search screen. Now we'll have to keep guessing what is available in enter specific fair class. I didn't like seeing that option go away and now it's come back to bite us.

mine is 27 - 108K miles
fly 4 more - 20K miles
fly 4 more - 24K miles
However, I am not flying as much this time of the year so I won't make it. Last year I did earn around 66K miles which came in very handy.

Yes - it does mean all or nothing. You must hit 27 flights.
Though I don't agree that it rewards people who travel less. They look at your travel history and set the bar a little higher than your typical travel to get you to fly a bit more.

Is everyone's Promo Code 16008 or do they differ for individual offers?

How can you not see this as rewarding people who fly less. I have to fly about 4 times as many flights to get anything.

By the way, does anyone know how this program interacts with these routings:
(1) A circle trip, entirely in B or higher fare classes? (Would AUS-SMF-RDU-AUS could as 1.5 points?)
(2) An itinerary that includes legs in both B or higher, and discount fares? (For example, an outgoing flight in H and a returning fare in S.)
(3) A single day's travel that includes higher and discount fares? (For example, an AUS-ROC routing that includes AUS-IAH in I and IAH-CLE-ROC in H.)

Mine is:
29 QRTs = 116,000 miles
4 more = 20,000 miles
4 more = 24,000 miles
Total possible = 160,000 miles
I only fly once a week and already have low fare flights booked into May. No way can I meet this.

FWIW- This is the first time I have personally been offered the challenge (after several years as Gold), my Gold daughter (who had about 10,000 more EQMs than me) was offered nothing, nor was my other daughter (Silver, about 10,000 EQMs less than me). No Mileathons for them either.

I will reach 1k on UAL though, and will maintain my Platinum on CO
