Mind if i ask what are your routings.
I have a 6th one on hold that would bring the total up by another $321 and add 12966 EQM and RDM miles for a total of 76076, but not sure yet. I think 5 itself is a lot and i'll def have more travel in the year to make the 37k i would need. But its tempting.
My routing is simply DFW-SFO-DFW roundtrips. $99 each way. I'm looking at doing a DFW-SFO-ORD-SFO-DFW which is actually a little better. What i'm worried about is i'm not sure i'll get TEQM for all those routes...T&C's state only one credit per roundtrip, yet AA CS said i would...but i can't trust one CS. The difference is booking two roundtrips at 8784 per roundtrip, which nets 17,568 total. If i can do the ORD routing and get TEQM for them all, it gets me 20,318 for exactly the same price as the two roundtrips DFW-SFO above.
