I met the E35K AQD limit last year with about 13000 AQM & 8-9 AQS. Arguably I am more profitable than those who flies on a lot.
I am on track to meet that 4000 -5000 AQD spend again this year, and once again no way for me to get to any status with the current system(other than being gifted) despite being more profitable for them.
I am currently at around 6% AQM/AQS to reach E50K with close to 20% AQD reach for E50K.
