Journey to Top Elite Status on American and United Airlines UPDATE July 2012

No flying this month for revenue tickets... just award trip from HKG for July 4th.  Plus airfares are really expensive in the summer.  I did manage to book an award trip on Singapore First Class using 120,000 US Airways Dividend Miles for August.
