RDMs on the < 500 mile segments post as actual miles, not the 500 mile minimum.

The 734 that handle palletized freight up front and Y pax in the back are indeed :rolleyes: but necessary to serve the market.

OK, but as a *G, is it posted RDM x2 (100% bonus)?

It will be two separate entries but yes, the RDM will be x2.

EDITED: Sorry, looking at my last statement, it does appear they are doing the 500 mile minimum for RDMs and the bonus. So a 500 mile flight will earn 1,000 RDMs.

I'm suspecting the same as I mentioned the other day.

The fraud alert has been going off way too much lately.

My CO chase card flagged a recent suspicious purchase I did: a $200 CO airlines ticket. :rolleyes:

Sweet!! ^^ CO.com does not read like that, nor did the Elite Desk agent say that.

Given the crazy alignment of planets last year that got me 52K EQM for about $1,000, I'd say that 17,070 booked for $768 isn't bad for a first-time all-leisure/MR requal attempt.

How many miles does someone get for this trip?

There is talk of the crash in Austin being related to the IRS having offices in the building. Speculation of course.

Not any more. :-:

As an elite one gets 500 minimum, plus the elite bonus RDMs are now based on the 500 minimum, not the actual.

It is quite unfortunate but the agents really have no comprehension of how complicated their system is (though it is slightly better now) for figuring out who earns what. There are so many permutations and variables that it is truly a PITA. I wouldn't necessarily expect the reservations agents to get it but the OPSC folks should be able to and it is a stretch even for them.
