Gotcha. They keep calling it miles so I assumed you got both miles and fees as miles.

So curious now if they do away with the super cheap flights or of those remain... also the flying passes.

It looks like to maintain status going forward (Platinum), I would need to spend $3125 throughout the year. The annual pass is $2k. Might make it worth doing that since it's no longer about the miles being earned. Then fly enough to spend $1125 in flight purchases.
