FWIW hotel programs have been doing this for a while.
Ive been an ExPlat (or US Chairman’s) since roughly 2009 and always having done it thru actual flying, and a lot of long haul premium cabin. My travel patterns have changed this year due to a different focus at work so I’m most certainly not going to requalify under normal circumstances.

so what do you recommend as the best way of doing that? I don’t have a ton of CC spend in general - maybe $5k per month total.
