Mine is:
16 QRT = 64,000 miles
3 more QRT = 15,000 more miles
2 more QRT = 12,000 more miles
Total possible 91,000 bonus miles
Nothing about not counting for EQMs, but that's probably a given...

Mine is:
21 QRT = 84,000 miles
3 more QRT = 15,000 more miles
4 more QRT = 24,000 more miles
Total possible 123,000 bonus miles.
Basically it breaks down as
4,000 mile bonus per QRT (when threshold reached)
5,000 mile bonus per QRT for next 3
6,000 mile bonus per QRT for next 4
Sounds nice, but I'm going to have a hard time justifying this many trips when all I need is about 4 more this year to make Platinum for 2007.

I do not remember the exact breakdown but I had to do 8 RTs to qualify for first tier with a total possible earnings of 54K. My next two H fares to CDG and HNL this month will put me over the top for the 75K level. Question is should I stay CO or should I try AA EXP? But that is a question for another fourm.

Wow! For once I'm targeted for something! I haven't received my invitation in the mail yet -- or it may be there and I just haven't been home to get it yet -- but I logged onto the website and it was there in my news and offers page. So I don't know what my requirement is but I'm now registered for it.
I know I'll probably have enough trips coming up to meet the requirement. The only question is whether or not I'll be able to get them in the qualifying fare classes.

19 qualifying round trips and receive 76k
Fly 3+ get 15k+
Fly 3++ get 18k++
I'm a Gold with 2006 Elite Mileage: 43,047, 2006 Elite Points: 45, wondering what other numbers/status they're targeting?
What stinks for me is I have no shot of making it because my football season of non-stop travel doesn't kick off until late September.

Wow, seems to be a lot of tailoring to this package. Question is it retro? I didn't see it until I got home on a trip from 03-07 Apr.

I got the same offer
It appears that some executives at CO got together and decided to play games with all the elites, since it appears that each elite has a different set of criteria to earn miles. What really baffles me is that a flight of $2000 (such as a Z fare from Cle to Europe with 4 segments earns as many points as a Y fare from CLE to BWI ($232 RT). It would seem that if this is a high end (i.e. non-discounted tickets) promotion, which it appears to be, then there should be something taken into account for the expensive European trip versus to inexpensive domestic trip. I fly a lot to BWI. The difference in price for a Y fare and a T fare is about $100. Thus, for me to earn my 60K bonus miles will cost me about $800 more if I so choose. However, I will admit that there are "several" additional longer and more expensive trips already on the books.

Mine is 27 trips and receive 108,000 miles
4 more for 20,000
4 more for 24,000
total of 152,000 miles
am I correct in assuming that if I fly 26 roundtrips, I get nothing at all ?
