Went from 550K to 780K... which to me means I will likely make 1MM 2-3 years quicker than I otherwise would have.

I got almost 300K as well - definitely more than I thought, but like honmani2, I don't have records going back past 2002. Of course, this still puts me at only 1.34 MM so 2MM is still a long way off with my current flying patterns.

That's true. I have never purchased Y or B ticket, but I have been rebooked into Y on few irrops that earned some bonus EQMs. However, not every irrop that booked into Y earned the bonus EQMs.

Bumped from 388 to 566k. Lots of paid C and a couple of RTW trips on *A certainly helped.

Add my 500+ on CO and I'm a million miler. A bit of a bummer tho as I don't acutally get to fly my MM flight

.95MM to 1.3MM. Given the amount of flying that I did during DEQM promos (etc) and the fact that I used to do a lot of int'l Y/B, with the occasional Z/C thrown in, this was less than expected. Was guessing I'd land around 1.5MM. Oh well...

Bump was about 20k higher than I calculated. Not sure where those extra miles came from but no complaints here.

I picked up almost 250k. Still about 200k from MM. 200k in 2012 might be too much to expect, but should be able to get there some time in 2013.

Call UA and dispute the credit.

OK. I probably win the award for smallest adjustment, since I almost NEVER flew UA in the last 30 years and have been CO Silver most of that time.

Anyways, my "Lifetime flight miles" bumped from 1,305 all the way up to 3,255, almost a 150% boost!!!

So my combined LFM will be 649,045 (CO) plus 3,255 (UAL), or 652,300.

Hey, I have 14,500 FEQM - can I count those towards my LFM too? I probably need to fly another 10-15 years to get MM status

Close enough that Plat is realistic, but far enough way that the "benefits" of Plat over Gold aren't that big of a deal. Lifetime 1K is WAY too far off.

Went from ~490K to ~980K thanks to all the LH, SQ, SK and SA flights. Will probably get the remaining 20K before the end of Q1.

Then after that I do not really care which * alliance carrier I fly with. I am just tired of connecting for international all the time out of Denver (a hub) hence why should I be loyal to United? Not even one stinkin TPAC or TATL flight out of DEN!

The recalculation gave me an added 175k miles, to a total of 915k. I had expected a bump of around 140-150k -- not an exact calculation, just an estimate of the CO flights, *A flights, and DEQM bonuses I earned over the past 10 years. Landing north of 900k is a nice little treat. I look forward to making MM later this year.
