If you don't have a premium CC or some significant outlying peripheral qualifying spend, everyone but SE got roughly doubled for SQD, right? SE got the best outcome.
Plus SQD for SE had always been an outlier. Everyone else needed approx $0.12 of SQM but SE needed $0.20
Big jump I never made.
Looking at the 125k SQC requirement for SE vs the old $20k SQD requirement, would I be correct in thinking that with the premium credit card, and sufficient business spend to max out the 25k SQC earnings on that card that as an SE:
- The 125,000 SQC drops to about 113,000 SQC with the 10% head start? (if no other rollover help)
- The 113,000 SQC drops 25k SQC to 88,000 SQC with an annual spend of $125k on the premium card
- The 88,000 SQC is equivalent to a $22,000 annual spend on Flex+ fares... equating to a 10% increase from before (again for premium card users)
I imagine SE's will mostly choose the Priority rewards benefits or other at each threshold and not the 2500 sqc benefit?
If my understanding is incorrect, encourage anyone to help set it straight. Thank you!
