I realized it's hard hitting the AQM/AQS on AC metal requirement (if I want early recog for 2015).

I fly mostly to US. Most of these flights are UA since they cover the US a lot better.

When I fly in Canada, it's mostly direct flights so low AQS. I also fly lowest fare so AQM is 25% of distance flown.

Any advice?

Surprisingly AQD is the easiest to reach out of all the metrics... I guess I go on expensive tango fares
