Sadly, after reading in more detail, the "fare" has to be more than $500, excluding any gov't taxes. My $516 one-ways only have fares of about $460, which evidently do not qualify for the offer.

So, everyone be careful with those fares that just barely exceed the minimum requirements.

I may have screwed up on this. I thought the trip I took yesterday would qualify but l think it may be a couple of cents under the minimum when you exclude taxes and fees. It hasn't posted to my account but it has been less than 24 hours so I still have hope. I may have to call and actually talk to someone.

PQD is normally rounded up to a full dollar amount. So, you will be okay.

Finished up my two trip requirement late Sunday, and the miles are already posted.
Only 2,500 miles, but better than my usual "no promo for you" result.

Miles posted before flight credit!

I flew yesterday evening. The miles (9000 miles for $225 spend + taxes) have been posted on my account even before I receive the flight credit. The latter will happen tomorrow. Cheers!
