I tried to locate the best place to post these 2 questions
and hope i'm at the right place. (Plz dont flame if i'm wrong)

My questions are:
1) My preferred airline doesn't have a branded credit card in my country (lets say JL).
But I buy and fly JL and need the EQM on JL to keep my elite status.
If I subscribe and pay with a airline branded credit card (lets say AA) ,
Will i get EQM and ticket award miles to JL and CC award miles of AA CC separately?

2) If I choose the Amex Platinum, it is written you need 80.000 EUR yearly as income.
Is this calculated on gross salary, or on the greater/other revenue? (ex. renting your condo to tenants, etc.)

Many thanks in advance for the answers!
