Now I get to figure out how to convince my management to get me a flight or two for the new projects (nowhere near going to be a long haul) just to get the EQDs, or I wait for AAdvantage to email me late in December with an absurd offer to buy my way into EXP again for more than just a $1000 EQD flight to say LHR and back.

Anyone been sitting within $1000 of the EQD requirement and figured out a way to get it done? I'm well over the EQMs, and won't ever make EQS, so it's down to EQDs or bust.
If you would consider the buy-back at the end of the year which will likely be around $1400, would you consider just taking yourself on a $1000 weekend trip? Maybe fly in first to someplace you’d enjoy?
