Sorry my bad. Yes 10k RDM for 250 and 10k EQM for the 1k.

I would be interested in what the "hive mind" thinks but I am struggling with two contrasting thoughts.

(1) It's great that I could pay 2k for what would save me 4 RT trips to SFO for status purposes. I get the EQM/PQM and UA gets my $ and gets to sell a seat. Ok, win-win.

(2) Unfortunately 1k isn't what it used to be so just getting gold or 75k might be sufficient negating my desire to fly more or pay for the Premier Accelerator.

I'm leaning toward 2 but am early in my thought process.
