USAir offering fastest way to Preferred status
by Captain G on Sep.16, 2009, under Airlines
In order to stay competitive with American, United and Delta’s double elite qualifying (EQM) miles offers, USAir is offering a super fast track to Preferred status. All you need to do is fly 7,500 miles (or 10 segments) between October 1 and December 25, 2009 to get Silver Preferred status. The normal way to qualify for Silver Preferred is the airline industry standard 25,000 flight miles or 30 segments.
This USAir promotion is the best fast track program out there! Assuming you haven’t flown a single mile in 2009, all the Double EQM programs require you to fly 12,500 miles to get Silver (vs. USAir’s 7,500). FYI, here are links to the other three promotions:
* American’s Double Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM)
* Delta’s Double Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQM) + Delta MQM Rollover
* United’s Double Elite Qualifying Miles or Elite Qualifying Segments
This is USAir’s way of saying: “we screwed you and thank you for being loyal all year round” to its most loyal customers like the Coach who has been flying on USAir all year. To soften the blow, this is what USAir posted on their website:
Don’t worry, the miles you fly will also count towards the total miles you flew for the year – you’ll be awarded the highest status between the two. So if you fly 55,000 Preferred miles for the year but only end up flying 8,000 Preferred miles during the promotion period, you’ll still earn Gold status for the year.
The Coach definitely has enough actual miles or segments to qualify for Platinum Preferred in 2010 but probably won’t have enough flight miles between October 1 to December 25, 2009 to get 30,000 miles to qualify for Chairman. The end result: Coach won’t benefit from this promotion but someone else may trump him and get Chairman Preferred status with much lesser flight miles. Coach will probably have 92,000 flight miles at the end of the year and 23,000 flight miles during the promotion period which means he’ll be stuck at Platinum. I should take six (6) coast to coast round trips and make Chairman just to piss off the Coach.
Here’s how the rest of the fast track to Preferred status promotion works:
- Fly 7,500 miles or 10 segments and earn Silver Preferred status
- Fly 15,000 miles or 20 segments and earn Gold Preferred status
- Fly 22,500 miles or 30 segments and earn Platinum Preferred status
- Fly 30,000 miles or 40 segments and earn Chairman’s Preferred status

Types of set – some children are naturally inclined towards machines,
whilst some move towards buildings or a combination of both.
Almost everyone can probably recall playing with them as a child, putting together figures and taking them apart without any regard for what they were doing.
But are you aware that Lego also produce electric toy trains and
that they not only have trains, but also locomotives, track, rolling stock, train stations, signal houses and a
whole load of other track side buildings and they all have the logo construction theme running
through them.

Once your clothes have been washed and waterproofed as necessary, place them in an airtight container
and store them in a location that’s dry and out of direct sunlight. You will want to check out the belt to the backpack carrier to see if it is long enough to adjust for your comfort.
