It's actually the international flights that are going to kill me. DFW-ATL-AMS-CAI and back gets me about 13,000 MQMs, 7000 Skymiles, and just over 1000 MQDs. I moved to Dallas at the beginning of the year and stuck with Delta for some reason. American is starting to seem much more appealing, especially if I can get a status match.

Earn 5000 EQP to keep gold
Earn 10000 EQP to get platinum
EQP accural heavily favors first/business class fares, so you'd have to be willing to spend a bit to keep status. It also costs around $100 to initiate a status challenge.

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I'll just hit $3,005 MQD's with about 60K MQM's though half of those were rollover from 2014.
I burned lots of miles this year and flew a few trips on UA when the price was right. I'm on track to end 2016 with less than 5k miles. BURN BABY BURN.
