the mileage millionaireMuch to my surprise, American Airlines just announced double elite qualifying miles and double redeemable miles for flights between SFO/LAX and ORD/DFW. You must register for the promotion and travel between October 27, 2011 and March 31, 2012.

After nearly two years of speculation, United has finally brought back double elite qualifying miles! Unfortunately, the promotion is very limited:

We just returned from Kiev on Lufthansa First Class last night. After a wonderful flight, I came home and crashed for 11 hours, only to awaken to news that Lufthansa is “enhancing” Miles & More, the frequent flyer program for Lufthansa and eight other airlines, effective January 3, 2011.

United has updated its page on 2011 elite program changes to add the following:
1K members: During 2011, if you are a 1K member based on 2010 activity, you will still be eligible to earn two Regional Upgrades per quarter as you did before. In addition, under the new program changes announced on Nov. 17, you will also receive two more Regional Upgrades when you reach 75,000 EQM/90 EQS and two at every 25,000 EQM/30EQS after that. The quarterly earning process will end on ...
