EQDs for membership rewards points use
I'm going to be a bit short with my platinum challenge on EQDs only. My last flight of the period is LAX to JFK RT and is only needed for EQDs. I know typically points needed is based on a dollar amount per point, 1 cent per dollar but with insider fares it's less(and then half back for grandfathered plat bus).
How are EQDs figured? I assume they are earned even though MP point redemption, correct? Couldn't get a straight answer from the Advantage people and she said she couldn't find it at first, something about a transfer. I do show it on my app, though. Should I be taking miles used, figuring 1 cent per mile to get EQD estimate?
