I'm flying March 9th returing March 11th. My itinery has been ticketed already and I called to get upgraded. Wasn't available, but got on the PA1 list. =)

tfung,
Just got off the phone with MP service desk. The bus will NOT earn qualifying status miles or segments, but WILL earn 250 bonus miles.
BTW, I'm leaving on 3/10 coming back 3/11, if you or anyone else want to hook up at CDG bar or RCC before the return flight, email me and we can make plans.

Of course, what would really top this deal off is to be offered bump compensation for a later flight.

My wife and I got two trips
1) out 3/9 back 3/13
2) out 3/16 back 3/20
Like others have suggested, anyone wanting to meet anywhere, lets make a plan.

how do you fly on the 10th and get back on the 11th? Is there more than one flight to CDG a day? 'coz when I checked, there was only one flight a day from SFO to CDG, and it arrives at 15:00. But the flight from CDG back to SFO is at 12:00...

I'm hoping that we can meet somewhere before check in... SInce I'm only a Premier member, and don't have access to the RCC.... And I guess for $24.98 a ticket, I shouldn't expect to be let in! 
I'm feeling sort of worried leaving this as an e-ticket.... Will it be safe on there? Should I look into getting paper tickets?
I'm also worried about drawing attention to it if I call and ask for paper tickets...
What's my best bet? Leave it as an e-ticket? Call and ask if I can get it changed to paper? Or just shut up and hide?

Let me see if I remember my French from long ago, un, du, trois, quat, cinq, seis, set (Oh man, it has been so long ago,) but that does mean 7 roundtrips. Papered though, so hopefully that won't bog things.

I am 3/16 - 3/18 also. But I do still feel dumb paying $85 instead of $29.
For those who bought enough round trips to re-qual 1K for like $120, my hat goes off to you! I only managed 1 before they shut me off.

So it looks that it's over. I missed this "sale"... I was watching "Temptation Island", not knowing the temptation here is much more rewarding than what TV showed.
