What to take for Elite Choice level 2??

I don't care about the contest or the RCC passes. Do you think the 2500 carryover EQM, 2.5 segments and 750 bonus miles is a better deal than the 2-500's? What do you choose?

Thanks

Me three. Depends I suppose on if you tend to have bucketloads of spare EQMs at the end of the year (I don't).
Of course, 2 e500s is no great shakes, so the competition isn't all that stiff.

My elite choice level 2
I picked the 2,500 carryover but was not offered RCC pass or E500s. I would have still picked the carryover. I was also offer sweepstakes, 4,000 mile rebate on standard award, $100 in restaurant cert, and 750 bonus miles on high yield segments in Oct. 2009.

Carry-over. The e500s would become 1000 RDM for me. And RCC passes aren't all that useful as I mostly travel internationally.

I picked the carryover for level 2 and level 3 as none of the other choices were attractive at all.
