Mileathon Question
 

I did a search but could not find an answer this.

I was fortunate enough to get targeted for Mileathon this time around. Here is the question I have. The "race" is from Oct 1-Jan 31. So, does that mean if I book a ticket today for travel Oct 4-6, that trip does not count? Or, if I book a ticket Oct 1 for travel next March, that trip does not count? Do I have to both book and fly within the Oct 1-Jan 31 time frame? :confused:

I have currently have 5 booked trips between those dates already, so I am hoping they count. Otherwise, I wil have to get busy flying some more!

I emailed the exact question to CO yesterday. I'll post their reply when I get it. I've got several trips planned for October and would like to book them now, though I'm willing to wait until 10/1 to "purchase" them if that's what it has to be, but it does seem silly. Everything says the credit will post after the flights are flown, which leads me to believe they're not keeping up with the actual purchase date. We shall see....

Thanks for your question, COmciUA. The Oct 1-Jan 31 Mileathon validity period applies to your dates of travel. As long as your travel is completed within this timeframe, there will be no issue with your Mileathon credit. This is regardless of when your tickets were actually purchased.

^ Good news.

I've got a few "full fare" flights over the next few months (booked before the 10/1 start date) :)

:cool: Thanks Scott!

This is great news. I have a few trips planned for this fall that I already purchased tickets for.

Another question.

One of those tickets is a combined discounted Y and discounted BF (z). How many points will I get for that?

Thank you for your insight!!! It's so great to have you in this forum!!!

That's good news...now how do I get targeted for this promotion? :D

Good question, Mary2e. For roundtrip tickets booked in multiple classes of service, you'll actually earn the credit amount for the highest paid class of service in that reservation. This means in your example (discounted coach in one direction, Z Class in the other), you'll earn the D/Z Class credit, which is 10 credits for your first activity and 6 credits for each repetition.

One Pass Select Bias?
 

I didn't get the mileathon promotion invitation but my fiancee did, with the same mailing address. I'm Plat for 2007 already but she's only Gold and unlikely to make Plat next year. I assume they're trying to get her to fly more.

I wonder if you're already registered for OnePass Select they would disqualify you for Mileathon? Too much potential for double dipping on points.

Thanks Scott. This will get me a few more bonuses than I was expecting.

okay, so my Mileathon says 200 credits = 100K miles or $2000 credit in the continental shopping.

anyone figured out how to spend $2000 to get 200 credits??

what is the cheapeast domestic A fare on CO?

Intra Texas flights?

Anyone got any of those dirt cheap HSV-ANC H fares to use with this?

no mileathon for me, again :(:(:(
