Additionally, you can qualify by EQP (Points). For some fare classes you can get more than 1 point per mile. For discounted ones, you often get only 1/2 EQP per mile earned. So, if you can get more EQP than EQM, which is why there are different ways to qualify, EQM/EQP/EQS. Elite Qualifying Segments is the newest way.
Did I read this right: you can qualify for EXP by getting enough points (100k in this case)? So if I have 80k EQMs and 130k EQPs, I will get EXP for the following year?
