I qualify, based on last year's miles (how I would earn any other 2017 status...), however, since it is a new program/level - you can only "buy your way in".

Doesn't do much to enhance my loyalty. Am I expecting too much?
No not at all, I am in the same boat, 75 EQM /93 EQS, I might of bitten at say 499 but not 899. Like I mentioned earlier I will just become a free agent, my travel is all short hops for work so SDCF does not entice me to but this. I was already on the fence about AA anyway, they just cant seem to communicate delays etc properly.
