Delta and UA besides flying 25,000 miles you have to spend $2,500 on tickets excluding taxes and fees to make lowest tier. Also I beleive it's Delta and UA again who have hotel programs you can earn 150-250 EQM's per stay at certain brands of hotels. Good luck with figuring it all out even some of us who have been flying for years are having trouble this year with all the new requirements. Life is not getting easier lol. Hope this helped a little instead of confusing you.
I appreciate you wish to help and by the complexity of your answer I see you are knowledgeable on the topic but please consider:
- I am not a native English speaker.
- I don't want to hurt your feelings but I am probably not the 1st one to say your grammar is, well hard to understand. OK, I can correct some of your words (aquire > acquire) but I have still no clue what do you mean by 'bis' besides unknown acronyms to me and it was all in the first sentence.
Speaking of acronyms, is there an 'official guide' to that or how on Earth I suppose to find out for example

Yeah, everyone says I suppose to use the search but see the above helpful results I get.
I also did not yet buy into this one:
