Yeah, for the ripe cost of between $3-6K. I'll bet I could fly enough to get silver for significantly less money, and go signifcantly further. (that price, BTW was for a range of dates with Saturday stayover in Envoy. I did not even try first...)

I got SP for $1,000 earlier this year, thanks largely to the double Q-miles promo. Got to GP for only $500 or so more.

Cheater. My 25,000 was all flown miles (other than the 500 minimum segments)!

SFO-PHL-FRA (during double miles) +LGW-PHL-SFO ($382 open-jaw STA fare) + SFO-PHL-LGW ($255 one-way STA fare) = Silver for $637 (about $130 in taxes).

And let me add I am not the type who actively seeks out milage runs, etc. - yet .

This promo is awful if you would do it as a mileage run, but that's not what it is meant for. If you are going to Europe anyway in First/Biz and deciding on an airline, this is a good reason to go with US rather than Airline X (Delta had a similar promo with the into of BusinessElite overseas--a couple roundtrips yielded MEdallion status).

The problem with the promo is that USAirways European service still requires excessive connections to their very few international gateways. As someone living in Boston I have gotten to be a snob about it - I won't fly to NC to fly to Europe...
