Around 46,600 EQM, but it was during a double EQM promo (must have been 2012 I think), so netted 93k EQM for $1350.

But that was a different time and different place. In this day and age, if all you're after is EQM, cheap flights to Asia abound. Very easy to get ~20k EQM for $500 or less. Just took me 30 seconds to find a $450 roundtrip to PVG in the fall, $200 cheaper than my last trip to Pittsburgh.
Oh wow. Thanks for sharing! Wish I was in the game in the good old days.

Can you please walk me through on how you found those $450 PVG flights? Where is your outbound airport? How do you find the cheapest outbound and destination with the longest distance?

All the flights I found to PVG are more than $1k.
