Has anyone who is a CP actually gotten the email from USAir?
The few non-CP's I know at work got the email.
A CP friend and myself did not receive the email.
Sucks to be a CP.
Thanks USAirways!

CLT -> BTR Gets 2 points for West Region and New City
Then BTR -> CLT -> DCA -> BOS ($187 Including taxes Same Day trip)
DCA -> BOS gets us the shuttle point.
They would need to be booked as 2 One-ways though because the computer won’t let you book the return flight out of BTR because it departs less than an hour after scheduled arrival (though, I’m sure it’s the same exact plane going back to CLT, so I don’t see why it matters )
Hope this helps!

I found a midweek in late August LAS-PHX-CLT-SJU-CLT-LAS for around $375. This would net 3 hops. If I can work in a day in CLT on the way back to do a CLT-MLB or CLT-BTR, that would net me 1 jump putting me at 4.

I'm plat, and I got the message last night. But I think the emails are very hit and miss - I know several times I've gotten the email several days after friends did and sometimes not at all.
If anyone out of PHX finds a good 4 point route, please post! I've been scheming, but so far haven't found anything resonably priced. :-(

If a CP received an email, maybe there is some hope for us.
