Figures that I have travel already booked....I doubt they will relent on the ticketing dates as they have for past EQM promos. It hurts a bit though with triple EQMs...

Three days to match not counting the weekend.

How about matching low fares now?

Looks like the lowest LGA-ORD roundtrip right now is $203. 733 miles x 6 = 4,398 EQM/roundtrip, or ~4.6 cents per mile.

Awesome

I'm on this a lot. Even better that it's not limited to R/Ts only (as I read it) as I do a lot of O/W and multi-city.

(edit) I see the "only between ORD/LGA line". Sigh. So no connecting flights - wonder if one-ways still count.

Question Key Question

The T&Cs say

The bonus flight miles and bonus EQM will be credited 4-6 weeks after qualifying activity.
Here's my dilemma: I'm 2,000-ish EQM short of Q2 CR1s. If I fly at the end of June, what will happen? Will Q2 CR1s post 1-2 months later when the bonus EQMs post? Or will I simply not receive them? Argh!!

You will not receive them, as BIS miles are used to calculate the 10,000 miles in a quarter, not EQM. This promo would not change your shortfall.
