Impact Analysis from a Data Geek

My frequent traveler programs are part prize, part game to me. I keep crazy spreadsheets that track just about everything under the sun related to them.

A new addition to my 2015 SkyMiles sheet has calculations for RDM differences on the new program.

I fly fairly cheap as I generally know where I am going well enough in advance and my employer adheres pretty tightly to 14 day advance purchase to which I hold to right at that mark usually.

5 RTs, MSP based and my RDM deficit from the 2014 program is already -13,109 miles.

Even reductions in the award chart will not account for this kind of loss.

Anyone else tracking this on a trip by trip basis?
