Certainly! Fly the longest routes you can with special fares on Partners in PE. AA y-up fares to PE & J are excellent as well. Upfares, often small, can make a poor earning itinerary decent but that is adding to the revenue. It just won't be in discounted Y not on AS flights. I have never qualified for 75K flying just AS. It has always been 90K with Partners as the first threshold to cross. I earned 388K EQM total for the years 2018, 2019 & 2020 and have added 88,311 more EQM since January 1st for over 475K in 39 months.

A good portion of early 2020 (which requalified me for 75K for 2022 on the carry-over) was on CX in PE when E class earned a 10% COS. E class no longer earns a COS bonus. The loss of 10% on that itinerary now requires flying/earning an additional 3085 miles elsewhere.

Flying is the easy part, minimizing the spend is becoming more challenging. I flew 15,637 BIS miles SCL-MAD-DXB-ICN-HKG-NRT and earned 17,884 EQM in 44 hours. That was after the LA earnings chart was devalued on July 1st, 2018 and the 25% COS on discount J tickets disappeared even though I had purchased the tickets prior to the announcement.
