I'll be interested in participating.
Last year ~56K EQM (I fear the day the 1K status will be gone, which will be very soon).
This year, by the middle of February will have already ~20K EQM. Going to be somewhat a busy travel year for me, and doing it all in full paid Y also helps.
PM if interested.

I guess I'm just going to register my family for the EQMs, unless someone wants to take pity on me and put me on their winning team...

Barely made 1K last year. This year will be more or less the same. Already have 35K+ for the year. I don't think I will add much more EQM this year, but if anyone want to include me in their team please let me know.

ARV is $5700/person
Did not notice if this was already posted. There was a discussion on it.
"Approximate Retail Value (“ARV”) of the reward is $5,700 USD for each member of a winning team. No transfer, substitution or cash equivalent of prize is permitted except at Sponsors' sole discretion in the event of prize unavailability. Each winning Mileage Plus member is solely responsible for any and all federal, state and local taxes. Winning members will receive a tax form reflecting the actual final value of the entire prize value."
Do depending on your bracket, you can figure out the tax.

I am looking to join a team.
Here is my resume
Last year, I just barely made 1P, but this year I will likely surpass 1K by a decent amount. I currently have 20,000 EQM this year, with another 37,000 scheduled before the end of march. Trips to Europe and India should be a regularity.
Please tell me about your team, if you are interested in my participation.

N: at least 1 member 50k+ increase
I decided to try to go ahead and put together a team right away. I am trying to get people that believe they will have a 50k+ increase over last year. (of course no promises as everyone understands circumstances can change). If you are interested PM me. Here is my resume:
I had 67k UA EQMs and 266k NW EQMs last year. I am definitely planning on getting to 1K on UA this year but can shift significantly more mileage over if it makes sense. I hope that I have a lot fewer overall EQMs this year but I still should easily be able to get a 40-50k mile increase for UA unless my job situation changed dramatically (which is always a possibility).

and since there seems to be a bonus for the first 250 teams to register, i should get going!!
so, i did 42.6k EQM last year. i'm at 36.9k EQM now, and plan to continue the year with UA/* as my primary carrier. (AA EXP last year, probably won't do more than 10k with them this year...)
i make no promises, but my goal is to end the year 1K, and i'm angling for more asia travel at work...

I am interested in joining... here are my stats:
Only flew 1,512 EQMs in 2007. Got nominated to 3P last fall by a FT'er (thanks again, ExtonUS). I will end up January with approximately 13,000 EQMs, however, my travel on UA will trail off by a lot. My goal is to make 2P this year, and I plan on taking an Australia trip either this coming December or January.
PM if interested, but it might be better to wait until August or September to register to see how viable I might be.
But only 1,512 EQMs in 2007....hard to beat that!

BTW, this might take a bit of work, but it might be a good idea to make a spreadsheet of all of the players interested. It would show 2007 EQMs, expected 2008 EQMs, etc... it'd be a nice way to keep everbody organized.
Just a thought...

I am interested in joining a team!
UA is my primary carrier. I flew >74K EQM in 2006 and >50K EQM last year. I look forward to flying >50K in 2008 and got one RT to Asia booked and another one or two to be reserved, with several coast-to-coast RT biz trips.
Please feel free to let me know if you're interested taking me in your team.
