And, as previously noted, all flight earning is both SP and redeemable.
"Status bonuses remain unchanged from today (Silver at 25%, Gold 50%, Platinum 100% and Titanium 150%), and will apply across whichever earn option the member selects." https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/37284671-post1.html
The red words are hugely important in understanding the supposed conundrum. There's zero chance AS is going to be giving a 150% EQM-earning multiplier to Titaniums who decide to earn by distance. Zero.
The problem is the ambiguity in the lingo of "points" as RDM and "status points" as EQM
The red text could be relating to a bonus of RDM awarded
based on status, not an accumulation of status points or EQM. Namely because the word "points" is missing after the word "status" but it is ambiguous.
