Sorry, I did a search for "Juniper EQM" and only two threads came up - one just quoting myself... ;)


I have a question for those of you who spend far too much money using your US Airways-branded credit cards:

Do you get the 10k EQM conversion after SPENDING $25k or after PAYING $25k to the CC company?

The wording on US' web site is as follows:

Spend $25,000 or more in a calendar year and 10,000 miles you have already earned will count towards Preferred status.

This implies to me that all I have to do is spend (not pay off) $25k.

That said, how long has it taken for your miles to get converted? Did you call in or take any other action to expedite the process? I figure I hit the $25k mark back in early September (or even late August), and I haven't seen a thing.


I wish I had known that balance transfers didn't count towards EQMs with BofA - I thought I had a nice scam going racking up charges on the Juniper MC and balance transferring those away to the BofA. ;) Guess I'm going to have to go buy a car on the BofA card if I hope to get to $25k in spending before the year is out...


Thanks in advance for any information you can provide!

I received them as soon as I spent 25k. Almost immediately after the regular miles posted the EQMs posted.

It is for spending $25k in one calendar year, not for spending and paying off $25k. In fact, the credit card companies hope cardholders run a balance. That is how they make most of their money and pay for all those miles.

Yeah...the 10k EQM's post immediately after the miles for the statement period. And if you're only going to buy a car to get the miles, I'll be glad to take the car off your hands. Just trying to do my part to help :-).
