Advice - my first MR
 
Looking to keep CO Gold... have booked PHL-IAH-SEA-ANC-SEA-IAH-PHL on Co same day turn for $560.60 (all in) to net 18584 EQM.

Given that I'm trying to avoid hotels and have a shot at least at upgrades, this seemed the best I could muster. EWR-HNL is a bit less, but routing via LAX requires an overnight stay; TATL flights would be in the back for sure.

I've got about 23 hours to refund.

Thoughts?

Well, first off, how many miles do you need?

BWI is a stretch... I'm between EWR and PHL.

Best I found would require two runs with at least one day in between at a fare less than phl-anc, and about 12 hours on the ground between flights. I'd save about $100 in airfare, but that'd be offset by driving twice to BWI, or exceeded significantly by taking the train.
