For anyone who is wondering (like I was), the miles aren't posting yet for January 2009 flights. They will kick off running the program in February and at that point the 50% bonus miles will be applied retroactively to 2009 flights that you've already taken. After that, I believe the batch job for this program will run every Thursday throughout the year, but I could have mistaken that.
(If this is common knowledge on the CO board, sorry for bumping an old thread -- it's new to me and I thought others might be wondering where their 50% bonus miles are, too.) peace, ~Ben~ |
Last year they usually posted every other Friday or Saturday night and were inclusive of flights which had posted to your account by the previous Tuesday.
Our 1/8 flights posted the Extra Miles on 1/17. Our 1/15 flights posted their regular mileage on 1/17 and I expect the Extra Miles to post on 1/30 or 1/31. Last year, being new to CO, I worried about them. This year, I know they'll catch up - but I still track them. We'll finish the program in May when we pass 35,000 EQM's. |
Extra Miles for our 1/15 flights posted last night.

My 1/13 miles posted last night as well

Nice to see that these are posting much faster compared to previous years! |

5. CO not only continued to offer this promotion again this year but was very willing to allow people who missed the application cut-off date to enroll when the made a request to do so. That would indicate a profitable product. ...
There are FT'ers who have enrolled in this program and who would like to see it expanded as is evidenced by the responses do far in the thread but I would venture a guess that those enrollees who will have taken full advantage of their option by year end are in a minority for the program overall. Offer 1 - AC9M01 -- Pay $125 and receive a 50% mileage bonus on all flights up to 12,500 bonus miles. Offer 2 - AC9M02 -- Pay $175 and receive a 50% mileage bonus on all flights up to 17,500 bonus miles. Ramp forward to May, and I made Platinum, thanks to ESTAF doubling and low European fares -- but I had maxed out on EMB. I made a quick call to the OPSC to see if I could upgrade to the higher level of EMB. I first got an agent who told me I could pay again and start over on a second EMB for the year -- (never heard of that before!) but he turned out to be wrong. Too bad - I have a nice Australian trip in the Fall... However, I was told by a supervisor, when I finally got up to one, that we cannot pay the difference to upgrade this due to accounting that would be involved. Since no one predicted that CO would ever do DEQM, I suggested that it be asked if future programs allow such a buy-up upgrade if situations change. Anybody else out there max out their EMB? |

By the way, the EMB miles don't count toward elite status. |

Remember, you only got them on base mileage. DEQM and Elite Bonus miled didn't count. Only BIS with 500 mile minimum for Elites. |

Both NOLAlady and I reached our 17,500 in early May.

Will be checking how to use the EMB miles for int'l upgrades, e.g., those long flights to Asia. Will be plotting how to keep at least Gold next year, ESTAF or not in 2010.... |
