Yes
The perks of 1K are important enough to me that I work at it--to the disdain and amusement of my family. DEQM makes it a little easier, and definitely makes the game more fun--it also helps with my $/EQM. I'll be able to rest up on my travel the rest of this year and then the itch should be back come January

Probably not. I'm on pace for 80k all domestic BIS miles & about 80-90 segments. DEQM should be me over the edge this year, but we'll see how business goes. I'm pretty consistantly a 1P flyer w/ no MR's.

Yes. I'm a segment guy but for the last 5 yrs I've hit over 100 segments and 100K miles. The only difference with DEQM or TEQM is I get miles first but eventually segments, instead of 100 segments first.

Yes, SEA-IAD-GVA R/T next week will put me over w/o DEQMs, now the question is how much do I want the extra SWUs? But since I have SEA-NRT-TPE and SEA-CDG coming up as well, plus lord knows what else, I suppose that decision is already made.

Yes. Only difference for me is that I have a chance at 150k this year.

No. Solidly in the middle of 1P (~75K) without it, this year and last. By making 1K possible, DEQM definitely encourages me to stay loyal to UA and ignore the siren song of BA/VS for trips to Europe.

Most likely not with corporate cost cutting this year.
Should barely make 1K with DEQM plus 2008 Elite Team Competition bonus EQM.

Yes. Made 2K last year by accident, may do so again (but not going to try, have already given away 2 SWUs and more may be in the offing).
