I think I was over $85PQD in 2016 so even if I am under $50k spend in 2018 my three year average is well over the magic 50 if I hit say $45PQD this year. I have one confirmed trip which will get me to $29k, and then one more to London which I could push to $16k RT or at least 2x $8k o/w's. I hold out no credence in CPM but over the years I have heard GS look at past spend. But I hope with (roughly) $45k PQD all on UA and around 100k BIS miles this is probably the highest cpm I will hit. Just need to make sure UA doesn't pull a 1K fast one (where earnings are clearly laid out) on hiking the secretive and mysterious ways of GS. What a great game this is, if you like flying
