Creative Ideas on spend? Could do it if the qualification period was extended to 02/27/22 but for the EQD waiver it’s not.
Alternatively, a $2k trip somewhere excluding taxes by 02/27/22 would do the trick as well. Best way to earn EQD’s?
She’s has no FF status so no grandfathering in, having to earn it the hard way.
If you got the Aviator business card IIRC you could get $3,000 EQD for spending $25,000 by 2/27/2022. If not, maybe you could consider buying $30,000 of Visa/MC gift cards from Staples on the Red card. There's no fee for the Visa gift cards this week. Doing so earns 2x on the business card.
