You would be able to choose 1500 SQM as one of your two early recognition choices for 2025 at 50K and at 75K and 5000 as one of your two for 2026 at whichever level you end up at. You would also receive a threshold gift of 2500 SQM (that would be received in January, 2026) at 60,000 SQM and 5,000 at 90,000.
Keep in mind that you would still have to meet the status qualifying dollar requirements of $6000 for 50K or $9000 for 75K.
Thanks for the info, it'll definitely help with my planning for this year. I currently booked 5 roundtrips with the promotion which will net around 30-35K EQM. The first trip will be to Asia in J, which should allow me to hit 25K status without 25K EQM since it says that the bonus points will count towards EDQ. I should have SQD covered and should be able to hit 50K pretty easily after these 5 trips but will probably have a tough time acquiring enough SQM towards 75K+. If I manage to hit 50K and select eUPS at every threshold, I would have 85 in 2025 and get an additional 20 when I select it again in 2026?
