Do please double-check whether you need 30K EQMs (Miles) or 30K EQPs (Points) as they are in no way equivalent. EQMs are always equivalent to the miles flown, whereas EQPs range from 0.5 per mile to 1.5 per mile flown (with bonus points on top of that for paid Business or First).
Most challenges require EQPs, not EQMs, and most challenges exclude bonus EQPs from that count as well, just to make it more confusing
I'd hate for you to do a mileage run like that and not qualify!
