2003 Roll Call
Now that the 2003 numbers are finally in...
156,060 Elite Qualifying Miles 45 Elite Qualifying Segments Good thing for those miles...on segments, I'd be toast. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif ...and about 7,500 EQM and 2 EQS for 2004 already in the bag (New Year's Day travel) With luck, might hit 25,000EQM for January. Steve |

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by Cap'n Adventure: here</font> I finally switched to FD this month. Sure the staff are horrible, contemptuous, and uninformed, but the alternative is calling the US every time I want to book a flight or upgrade something. Since I ultimately fell short of re-qualifying for WP Plat this year due to lots of award flights, it will be interesting to see if I get grandfathered into FD plat or bumped down to gold. ------------------ -alan in sitges, home of the new, improved Si-Re-Do |
All of my NWA flying was in North America (USA & MX)during 2003.
177,900 EQM's for 2003 41 Elite Qualifying Segments ***************************************** I wish there were official benefits for flying over 100K or 150K (Double Platinum)since that shows additional loyalty to the airline. RC |
Travel cut way back this past year however:
About 130,000 EQM About 40 Elite Seg Echo RC's comment about lack of, or need of benefit for over 100K. Sure would be nice to carry over your previous years balance above 100K, or have it applied towards a lifetime, or some other incentive. |

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR from Singapore. Apologies for posting in the wrong forum You had mentioned a SIN trip on January 5th. I am at the Hilton on Orchard Road until January 10th. Any chance of meeting for a drink next week hsubbu |
Sadly, my SIN trip has been postponed a few days...that's why I'm only a "maybe" on the 25000EQM for January. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif
Of course, there was NO upgrade inventory (heck, no J/C inventory either!), so I'm not totally heartbroken as maybe now we'll be able to upgrade that trip when it happens. Steve |
Present.
25,286 EQM's 0 Segments Sadly, Silver for 2004. What a letdown from Gold. And then, depression set in. Still wishing NW went WEST from PHX. Looking at at least 15 RT's RNO-PHX on WN this year. At least I'll get at least three free tix out of the deal. |

Platinum for 2004.

I was wondering, for those of you who rack up 100,000+ miles a year, what type of work do you do that has that much travel involved? As someone in a dying profession (software programmer), I need to find a new career – it might as well involve travel.

As someone in a dying profession (software programmer), I need to find a new career – it might as well involve travel.</font> I flew 50/50 leisure/business last year, with lots of trips to Europe, where my chief client is. I work in online marketing, but am basically self-employed. I got about 80K on NW last year, so I am plat, and also over 100K EQM on LH, so I am Senator there. Wheeeee! |
Last year was actually an unusual amoutn of flying for me -- a combination of technical consulting and a new job that is involving at least some significant initial global systems deployment.
This year is starting off with a bang for the same reason, but it's not clear if it won't taper off considerably mid-year. And consulting, I also was able to take advantage of additional free time and grab a few cheap mileage runs...hence, the pretty significant total EQMs. Steve |
For GG and me, 76354 EQMs each, 3 EQ segments (all courtesy the CO upgrade computer glitch).
Honestly earned NW plat after a year of comp gold as Delta refugees. It IS sweet. As to travel, although we aren't at 100,000 miles, GcM, we run our own business doing licensed merchandising for conventions. We almost always know months in advance where we need to be, and almost always stay over weekends. NW is perfect for us. ------------------ "We know you have a choice of airlines" ... the most important frequent-flyer words you heard this week. |

Building in various cities in MI, NY, FL, CA, MX require me to be on the road appr. 1/3 of the year. Some weeks, for example, I'm traveling to LAX on Sunday, Mexico on Tuesday, then to MCO on Thursday and home on Saturday. Especially tight schedule when I'm building 4-5 restaurants on both coasts and Mexico at the same time. RC |
Platinum, the hard way!
60,091 2003 Elite Qualifying Miles 64 2003 Elite Qualifying Segments Happy New Year everyone! 2004 will be tough for me, they've already stated we should expect our travel to be cut in half...ick. I've never done a mileage run, that may have to change in 2004 to keep some sort of decent status. |
51,533 EQM for 2003
3 segments (I must have better luck with my purchases http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif ) |
111,083 EQM, 17 EQS in 2003
It's been a good start to the new year...I already have 12,744 2004 EQM's. |
82,764 EQM's
46 Segments All domestic! |
63,496 EQM/93 Segments
------------------ |
82,091 EQM miles, 0 Actual Segment, but earned 15 Continental and Alaska Segment credits through the upgrade glitch. Thanks to the EQM miles, I'm platinum. I'm nothing considering the segment alone.

a lovely silver http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif and leisure traveler
29,840 miles + miles for AMS-VIE segment that have not posted yet |
53,228 EQMs, mix of business and leisure. I've typically been a silver, but last spring's cheap CO fares to HNL put me within one run of gold. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif
Approx. 12K miles booked through the end of Feb., so I'm off to a good start in '04. |
78,767 2003 Elite Qualifying Miles
23 2003 Elite Qualifying Segments Just an average year for me, but our company is sending alot of our people to Africa for a project in the next several months, but I can't go... sux coz i have to make their travel arrangements and they get to fly in J...just in time for the intl WBC promo... wahhhhh [This message has been edited by thezipper (edited Jan 09, 2004).] |
81,995 2003 Onepass miles,
99.5% domestic but switching to NW as of 1/1/04.... Switch at the gate is a pain, but my only saving grace... K |
I had over 95,000 miles, but many were on CO on cheaper fares. I wonder how many elites are going to suffer by not flying CO or having to pay more to get 100% of miles for 2004?
