I have > 50K miles ticketed for Q1. Still chance I will add another HKG trip in March.

The zero miles may inspire me. This year I waited until around September to figure out I needed 60,000 miles on UA to hit 1K and a lot of segments on US to hit CP. It was a busy November and December. I plan on spreading it out next year.

How? I usually only get about 25K miles on a Europe RT.</font>
Actually it's over 41K miles. On my trip, AUS-DFW-FRA-LGW-DFW-AUS I should earn the following miles:

Base miles: 11,410
Plat bonus: 11,410
Business class bonus (out of 10340 miles in business class): 2,585
EURY4: 15,000
Online booking bonus: 1,000

Final total: 41,405 miles for $855 ($0.0206 per mile).

I thought I would have to wait for 10 Jan, but today my accumulations for 2003 were accelerated to 2 Jan. I will make sure to look for the zeros on New Years Day!

That's one thing I like about AA's system of scheduling "miles toward e-upgrades" counter to run until the end of February.

When the YTD qualifying miles reset to zero, at least I'll have the miles-toward-upgrades counter to re-assure me that I'm still a traveler.

It just happened. The zero is here. Happy New Year everyone.

I wanted to see my UA miles shortly after midnight Jan. 1 but get the message below, a Y2K+3 error http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif Still down 5 hours later.

At least I have the 500K miles to comfort me. I leave on a flight in a few hours so it wont be 0 YTD miles for long.

Hahahahaha!

I started the year not with zero but with 2,000 miles from an expired set of 500-milers! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

On second thought, that's NOT such a good thing -- it means my upgrade requests never go through! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

And in any case, it does say: "Year-to-date Premier qualifying miles 0"

No matter. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

For a few hours each new year, we are all humbled by this zero balance, elites and non-elites alike.

Every year about this time I start getting apprehensive, knowing that it will be just a few more days until all my accounts roll over to Zero YTD miles, stays and nights.</font>
I flew an MCI-DEN-SEA leg New Years Day and have my first Mariott and Hilton stays set up for Portland this weekend. So soon I will be happy again. ;-)
