I was able to pull in 21k EQP's (more, I think, if you count other bonuses, but that's challenge EQP's) for about $1500 (dallas based, still have to book positioning Y flight, which is around $100): LAX-JFK-SJU-JFK-LAX-ORD-MIA-SJU-MIA-DFW, all from 1130PM on a Friday to 10PM on a Sunday all in J, transcons are lieflat. I honestly haven't seen anything (besides insane fare mistakes) comparable in terms of value to me w/ time and money.


It all comes down to your schedule, budget, tolerance for not sleeping in hotels/showering in lounges. Why do you need 20-40EQP's per run if you're doing a challenge? I think EXP challenge is 25k EQP's
