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.
...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.

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.

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.

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

Sadly, my SIN trip has been postponed a few days...that's why I'm only a "maybe" on the 25000EQM for January. 
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.

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.

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.

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!
