Hi Everyone. I've got two quick questions about Gold Challenge that I couldn't find the answers to here or on the Wiki.
1) Is there a minimum EQP (250 miles?) for flights if I currently have no status? I remember that there used to be, but also think I remember that they changed it so that only members with elite status get the minimum EQP.
2) Is there a "close-enough-to-qualify" rule for challenges? Maybe I remember this being for regular re-qualification.
I'm planning out a Gold Challenge strategy for the summer, and my ideal routing has me 90 miles short. My routing can't get any more creative
, and I plan to switch to using miles once I complete the challenge. I could just buy the next leg of my travel plans, but it would be way nicer if these last 90 miles weren't an issue.
Thanks for your help.
