done flying for the year and made 2K
And here is my summary:
Year to date Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM) 206,672
Year to date Elite Qualifying Segments (EQS) 55
I really flew a bit too much and too far away from home this year.
merry x-mas everyone!

There might be a double EQM in play for the OP.
As for myself, 99602 BIS miles and 30 segments.

No double EQM in play. I lived in Japan March - November and commuted home every two weeks. Did a double around the world in January.
Only 6 domestic segments this year SFO - SEA and SFO - LAX. Everything else was long flights mostly SFO - NRT.

it was C. And after a couple of flights united was very generous with putting me in F on op ups. got 10 of them this year.
Did about $50K miles with AA on San Jose, CA - NRT just to compare. Apparantely they knew i flew a lot of ua miles, they comped me 3 times into F and let me know that they would appreciate my business (or maybe my travel agents called AA -who knows).

2k ... wow ... indeed many miles ...
(by the way, did that include the AA miles?)
on the topic of BIS vs EQM ... I noticed that mine are very close :
BIS = 114,449
EQM = 120,161
I.e. EQM/BIS = 1.05 (EQM only 5% more than BIS)
Were some of you earning a much higher ratio of EQM/BIS ??
Also, FWIW, I did those on 57 segments, i.e. 2,008 miles / segment

Other end of the spectrum
I averaged less than 800 EQM per EQS.
Too much UX.

This year 17K on UA and 4K on NW. Not a good year. Guess I'll be starting from scratch next year.
