Exactly. There was no choice benefit in 2009.

So how quickly (or rather slowly) do the choice benefits post? I chose the 4 PU503s earlier this morning but now still some hours later don't see them in my Profile under ECVs/eCerts, nor any e-mail on that. I saw other posts here saying that it's instant... certainly don't seem so to me!

Miles posted instantly. I chose the $200 DL award and have seen nothing yet for confirmation and there is nothing in my Ecerts file.

I'd be interested in hearing from someone who could actually use 10 SWUs? Six almost seems like too many.

I want the 20k RDM's that I should have a pick from (Plat pick for 2010) and that is the real issue for me. I did not want 10 SWU's but I was told by Jeff that I would get BOTH picks for this year. I would have been better off holding short otherwise.

When I go, it lets me pick:

2010 Diamond
2011 Diamond

(I have 200,000 EQM right now). If I pick my 2011 Diamond benefits now, does that mean that next year I won't get to pick any additional SWUs (but would instead get 12 this year?). What about when I hit 250k MQM shortly, will it let me pick my 2012 Diamond benefits?

Actually, the most interesting thing to me is this clause:

"for selections made for 2011 Choice Benefits, companion status is good through February 29, 2012." - if I wait until I hit 250k EQM (in a month or two), will I then get to gift companion status that is good through Feb 2013?

Will the $200 DL travel voucher be credited under in your profile e-certs/credits? Or will they mail you a physical paper $200 cert? Thanks...

Took the 20,000 in a heartbeat. 20k is a inter-asia award ticket which is always much more than 200$.

I want to take the 4 from the 2010 PM benefit and then use my 2010 DM choices for other things.

Good luck finding that 30k award. It's probably more like 100k under the new best-in-class 3-tier award program.
