Even Costco won't get you there. It'd be at most a 10% savings. You'd have to use other coupons, Entertainment Book, and others you find on FT or the net.

I am sure everyone is on this promotion like no tomorrow. I finally after spending hours last night and putting 5 itineraries on hold purchased them today.
Jan 7 - 8: LGA-DFW-PDX-DFW-LGA = 12,020 EQM
Jan 14 - 15: LGA-DFW-SEA-DFW-SEA-LGA = 12,192 EQM
Jan 21: LGA-DFW-LAX-DFW-LGA = 12,966 EQM (DEQ11 and DEQAA)
Jan 23: LGA-DFW-LAX-DFW-LGA = 12,966 EQM (DEQ11 and DEQAA)
Jan 28: LGA-DFW-LAX-DFW-LGA = 12,966 EQM (DEQ11 and DEQAA)
--------------------------------------
Total EQM: 63,110; Total RDM: 63,110.
--------------------------------------
Cost: $1511.80.

Someone in another thread posted that the SFO based FAs are referring to January as the month of the Mileage Nerd. I have run into MRers everywhere - in fact, I'm posting this from a ORD->SFO flight, and ran to the gate with two others coming off a LAX-ORD run that was late getting in. I always think it's funny when the FAs include gate information for west coast cities when coming into Chicago from the west coast. It so far has been a neat experience - I've had the pleasure of meeting some interesting and nice people, and hope to meet more. A little sorry (or really, not that sorry) that I won't be able to run into all you AA MRers again until 2014, when I'll need to get serious about this again.

I am guessing if I manage to get to EXP, I'll work to keep it rather than regularly sit in the back in an effort to attain that status again.

No, my goal would be to requalify in 2013 - I do probably on average ORD->SFO/LAX/SAN twice a month now, which would get me pretty close. If they run again that ORD->West Coast DEQM promo they have a few times now, it'll be easy. If for some reason I didn't, it wouldn't be until 2014 that I would have to run through this same craziness I've been so far enjoying. :-)
