Not sure if I have any more trips. But I think I'll make sure I sure to travel again, hopefully hit 150,000 EQM AND the 12,000 EQD targets. But I would definitely pay $935 rather than drop a status level.
Interestingly, I've spent nothing like $11,296 on travel. I've done two BA Premium Economy trips to Africa this year which have yielded tons of redeemable miles and way more EQD than I spent.
We had a trip to Africa in J and that is what put me at 14,228 EQD and 97,444 EQM. My buy back offer to EXP is $1295. My trip to JFK tomorrow will put me over the top. DH will get there in December. I'm too lazy to log into his account to see if he has an offer.
