So they give you $120 in upgrades 2% of the cost of my upgrades alone--who cares.
Factor in another 30k for the tickets themselves and it it 3/10 of one percent.
Such a benevolent promotion--I wonder why they even bother?

The bonus isn't for flying 85K, it's for flying more than 50K. You earned 10K from AADER, so according to my calculations, you're receiving the bonus for flying an extra 25K. Granted, those 4 stickers will only upgrade 2K miles, but your net is closer to 8% of the cost of the stickers, not the 2% you stated above. And don't forget, you also earned 8 stickers while actually flying that 25K.
