A few miles from 2P... what to do?
 

I currently have ~16,500 EQM for the year. My next flight is to SIN; the outgoing legs will net me another 8,093 EQM, for a total of ~24,600. Is there any way I can enjoy some or all of the benefits of 2P on the returning flights? (by the time I get to the second leg, NRT-SEA, I will have comfortably crossed the 25,000 treshold). FYI, SEA-NRT-SIN is on Nov 24-25, and SIN-NRT-SEA on Nov 30. It would be really nice to have E+ and the 25% bonus miles on the way back.

Pay the $150 and you will cross 2P on the way there

The rules of the $150 say the bonus EQM kick in January 1, 2005 :td:

Great idea if and only if the bonus EQMs post along with the flights...

Erm, ask in the Mileage run forum for tips on UA from SEA???

The OP is asking about getting 2P benefits enroute.

If you had a way to get 400 miles, hence having 2P while in SIN, then it is very easy to have a res agent or gate agent re-enter your number and the status will appear.

Thanks for the suggestions. What's the absolute cheapest UA (UX) destination out of Seattle?
Adding the 1000 base miles for the trip, the 1000 mile online booking bonus, and the 2000 miles coming form the 25% bonus SIN-SEA, a trip anywhere would give me 4000 miles, plus E-plus on SIN-SEA, start accumulating miles for upgrades, etc. If it costs, say, $90, it would be a good deal.

Looks like SEA-GEG is $98 R/T.

You could ask UA if they will provide you a courtesy early upgrade into Premier before your trip (based upon your account history, EQM to date, and booked travel before year end). Good luck!

Just a word of caution...
 

This may count as your once a lifetime status match/upgrade...be very careful.
