Your Million Miler total would also increase by 462 miles.
That's very interesting. So it looks like for 2017 qualification elites will receive a minimum of 500 EQMs per segment. Since the whole concept of the 500-mile minimum has historically been tied to redeemable miles, I wonder if the concept as applied to EQMs will stay around once AAdvantage transitions to dollar based earn later this year?
