Worlds collide-EQM EQS at same time
Just last week, I hit 50k EQMs on the same flight I hit 60 EQSs. What are the chances of that happening? All domestic crap to'boot! To bad there isn't a "double" Gold.
And on top of that, when I checked out of the Courtyard that morning, it put me at 76 nights, requal for Plat w/Marriott. Now that's just too weird for all that to happen.
Then I checked my # of rentals with Nat'l..2 short of Emerald Exec..oh well, that's probably for the better, I really would have been scared if I hit that on the same trip.

My recommendation is to liquidate all of your assets and invest 100% in lottery tickets immediately.

Nice!
That's hilarious timing for everything! I've actually been hoping to hit 50k EQMs at the same time I hit 30 EQSs so that I could hit Gold for miles with only hitting Silver for segments. I passed 50k EQMs just on Sunday but (unfortunately??) I've only got 25 EQSs. I wonder what the average is for number of segments to 50k EQMs. And what the record fewest/most to 50k is!

Platinum in Four Trips
I got a better one. I had to go to from California to Europe 4 times over the last 2 months on business trips. "Y" and "H" class tickets on COA and NWA (via DTW and IAH) with 50% Y/H-Class Elite Qualification Bonus really add up.
Hopefully NWA will be around for me to enjoy it.

Hmmmm, very interesting data here. I'm curious if I have the highest EQM/EQS ratio... 89,000 EQM off 26 segments.

Its a good thing they don't only count segments. I am currently at:
141,000 EQM
34 EQS
And that is with out any flying in July and August so far. I just hope everything is ok as I have a NGO-LAX-DTW flight on the 20th. Here's hoping that the planes are at least flying.
