Was the $15,000 ever in effect? I thought AA raised it to $15,000 for 2020, when it quickly became $0 due to Covid.

It wouldn’t make any sense for AA to raise EQD to $18,000+ and then give another Covid reduction. As it is, most existing EXP aren’t re-qualifying at $9,000. They’re spending $15,000 on a CC or spending $2,000 over the last five months of 2021.
