My wife, a Plat, has 4,744 EQD, 36,287 EQM and go an offer of $1299. Elite status has been of minimal utility for her (usually flies biz) so I couldnt see taking this offer.
My kids are all within spitting distance of Gold (over EQDs and about 22k EQMs) and got offers of $395 which isnt a bad deal except they have a paid J flight that will give 3x EQM and would make them plats under a challenge if I wanted to spend the money.
