On top of all the other abuse this year I am seriously wondering if a concerted effort to switch to United might be worth it. Really feel valued by you, American! Not. : (
Are you sure? If you were reaching the $9k EQD threshold for Platinum, that means you would earn 9000 * (5 + 5*.6) = 72,000 loyalty points under the new structure. Which is pretty darn close to the 75k threshold for platinum.

Edit: never mind, I looked at the wrong EQD threshold. Correct threshold should be $6k, making the math 6000* (5 + 5*.6) = 48,000. So still a little ways to go for requal
