Heh, this thread makes me feel better. I'm so glad they selected this benefit just for me.
2017
EQD: $11,543
EQM: 94,794
My offer: $1,895 to maintain my EXP status. I have 5 transcons booked between now and the end of November. One would think that they would look at upcoming travel patterns and ticket cost. I could do a R/T in J for less than the cost of status.
