What does that have to do with anything

EQM are invisble miles that cant be redeemed for anything so even if the client takes the RDM, the EQM count towards your status.

Also as noted I would (if at all) surrender my base miles but thats about it. The elite bonus is my personal gain as I worked towards this benefit independent from this particular client.
