In the case, it appears my business to AC isn't being recognized fully. I am frustrated. I am over $6800 AQD - well over the threshold for Elite 50K, but only 39 segments which puts me just over E35K. Until very recently, I never even got any recognition for all the AQD spent.
When I took AQD / AQM, it comes out at 40 cpm.
My travel pattern is domestic short haul flight in Flex which are very expensive in terms of CPM.
If AQD spent is what they care about, why make it a double qualification by adding in AQS or AQM?
