But as I said I'm re-registering tomorrow to be sure. No harm.

So this has a different Promo code than the Australian double/triple EQM promotion, which still runs until October 15, and there's no T&C's that I can see that disallow receiving EQM's from both.
Anyone want to bet on the chances both promos will count for flights between September 3rd and October 15th?

I think you'll have to look up the T&C's of the Austrailian D/TEQM promotion and see if its a combinable offer. Would be sweet if it was!!
I suspect a lot of people may be registering after 12:00 midnight local time. I've got a family member flying at 0600 this morning so I'll be registering her, then myself and a few other family members who will be flying this year. Too bad it doesn't work for *A, I've got four family members flying LAX-PEK Thursday via Air China, too bad they didn't have a UA flight!

For tickets purchased in the US ?
From Item 9 of the T and C's
For tickets purchased in the U.S.:
Anyone have any idea what that means ?
Does it mean that tickets have to be purchased from the .com website and not other country sites ?
Or is it simply telling us that if we purchase tickets over the telephone or at a ticket counter we will be charged a fee ? Which I thought would have been obvious.

It's simply stating that tickets purchased by phone or at the airport in the U.S. are assessed an additional booking fee. Tickets purchased in other countries in this fashion may or may not be assessed a fee. It's just boilerplate language; don't worry about it. The promo will apply regardless of where you purchase your ticket.

I was looking at needing 2 MRs to get back to 1P, (after 4 years at 1K) and now I only need one!
Myself, Mrs. Redbeard and Miss Redbeard are all signed-up. This will be the first year for 1P for them.

Maybe...
just maybe... I'll get my son to 1K too. I thought I would quit him out at 75K to get Premier Associate for his grandma. This is getting ridiculous - and I vowed this year to stop all this nonsense status stuff. They have us as hooked as junkies. But really I just can't face the thought of flying without 1K status. Are these airlines going to stay alive?

Yea - why is this
My son's gave this message and I could not see it.
I have seen stuff like this in the past. What's the deal? Lousy programming? Overloaded computers? ???

Probably overloaded computers. Come to think of it, I have yet to receive the deqm promotion email from UA.

This will yield around 38K along with around 45K for the previous DEQM promotion so I'll have around 240K by the end of October.
Boy, the "value" of 1K has gone down, no?

now i just have to find 49,242 eqms for roughly $1,000 (or less)I cant tell you just how excited and thrilled I was to hear about this from my chat buddies today ^. They had to put up with me being totally overwhelmed and excited as I worked out how I will use my new SWUs in 2010. I have to share them with Mini DG so they wont last too long.
For the first time EVER I will make 1K - WOOHOOOOOO ^.
This year I was GM (eek, yes I lost my usual 2P by a few 1000 eqm), then 2P, currently 1P and NOW I am going for the ultimate 1K (well, getting to GS is out of the question, so its the ultimate for me)
.Hmmm, now since I am already registered for AUSSIE DEQM, does this mean until OCT 15, all my flights are going to earn QUADRUPLE EQMs??
. After all its says COMBINABLE with all other offers. OH BOY!UA, I love ya :-:, I just cant wipe the SMILE off my face tonight

Not cash, but loyalty that they hope will turn into future cash when things get better.
Actually, I think the vast majority of GM's don't know the difference between EQM and RDM.
I must be the only person in the world for whom this will accomplish nothing. I was set to finish the year at about 53K EQMs with 47 EQS, including 7K EQMs and 14 EQS remaining. Even with those doubled, I don't even get up to the next Elite Choice threshold, much less to 1K status.
Most definitely. AA is coupling this offer with another:
Earn 125,000 or more elite qualifying miles or points during 2009, and choose two of the following:
* 2 One-Way Systemwide Upgrades
* One 1-Year Admirals Club Membership
* 25,000 AAdvantage Bonus Miles
* Gift of AAdvantage Gold status for a Friend
More modest benefits for making it to 75K and 40K.
