One Flight = Silver Medallion
Check out GLeff's blog today. One of the best offers I have ever seen! 
Ok, FT Members, can you help me find the cheapest, same day RT from Charlotte that will allow me to qualify for this offer? Live in ATL. My plan is to drive to Charlotte and make it back the same day. Don't care where I go...just looking for a cheap ticket.
Anyone want to join me for a road trip?

Talk about devaluing the SM elite level. I feel a lot of sympathy for those who earned their SM status the hard way.

There is another version out there, upgrading existing Silvers to Gold...

I'm not sure Silver Medallion is worth even this minimal effort.

Since I live in ATL (and typically fly DL), priority boarding may be worth it alone.

Read the fine print
This only gets you Silver until Feb of next year. Those who made Silver already the traditional way (like me) are that level (or higher, obviously) until Feb of 07.

The target is apparently US Air cities.
