Just want to point out that for SFO-(NRT)-TPE r/t, with
the 50% EQM bonus for paid C, I get 19,440 EQMs. That plus your other trips (not counting the short hops) give you an additional 28,540 EQMs, or put you near 80K for the year.
With this math, once you factor in your short hops (say another 2K EQMs), you'll be only a couple MRs away from 1K. Certainly doable, but only you can decide if it's worth it to you.
