However - I haven't seen any conclusive answer to whether it's possible to earn a total of $6000 EQD by spending $25,000 on a (grandfathered) Aviator Red and an equal amount on the Aviator Business card. I missed out on upgrading to the Silver - but have both of these cards. Is there a definitive answer on what to expect?

Obviously, it would be great if I could earn EQD from both of them - though if that's not the case, I'll most certainly cancel one of them. [Since the Business version anyway seems to have best chance of earning EQD into the future, I imagine that's the one I'll keep].

Mini-update: I've been in touch with Barclay's about this question. For the Aviator Red card, there was at first some confusion about whether I'd even be able to earn EQD in 2019, but in the end, yes, I'm grandfathered in, so have one last year to avail of the benefit. As for the question of whether or not I'd be able to earn EQD from both the Business Card AND the Aviator Red card, the thought it should be possible, but wasn't sure, and wasn't able to find out for me, because, they said, the Business and the Personal credit divisions are totally distinct. I tried contacting the Business Card division to ask for clarity, but was informed that they also had no clue, and when they tried to transfer me to someone who might know (the Application Department), the call dropped. Grrrr.

I have no idea what to make of this.

Does anyone here have any idea what's what?
