I reached Platinum status with Continental in the last 6 years easily with the amount of flights that I used to do. Some years I even reached Platinum before June, however this year with the economical situation and the fact that business is simply down I figured this is the year that I won’t make it to Platinum. Earlier this year Continental announced a “Double EQM” promotions which simply said that you will earn double EQM on any CO flight that is flown before June 15th. I wasn’t sure if it will make much difference but decided to register anyway (it’s free so why not?).
So like I originally thought I didn’t have a chance to fly too much this year (yet) for business. I had a couple of flights to NY and two flights to Israel. To my surprise this was enough to make it to Gold already which means I still have a great chance to complete 25,000 EQM more before the end of the year
So how did I cross the magical number of 50,000 EQM using this promotion?
| Flight | EQM |
| RDU-LGA (Delta) | 250 (50% with partners)  |
| JFK-RDU (Delta) | 250 (50% with partners) |
| RDU-TLV | 12,384 (double EQM)  |
| TLV-RDU | 12,384 (double EQM) |
| RDU-EWR | 1,000 (double EQM) |
| EWR-RDU | 1,000 (double EQM) |
| RDU-TLV | 18,576 (150% EQM * 2)  |
| TLV-RDU | 6,192 “only” since I returned after 6/15  |
| Total | 52,036  |
