Next year won't be a problem, as I expect to continue this relative pace, but I am wondering what my odds are for this year.
It may even count in your
favor -- they want to catch you and keep you captive as your business travel picks up, not lose it to another airline. My role a few years ago went from Domestic- to Internationally-focused and I suddenly picked up and qualified with stats very similar to yours the first year. Your CPM / yield per trip is high and that is very attractive.
