In M&M elite members earn in
booking Class B on UA 175% miles flown. In booking class C, D & Z 225% miles flown. As a 1K in M+ you earn in every booking class in coach and in Biz booking Class Z 200% miles flown.

I agree: If you get decent fares, fuel surcharges and taxes makes coach class M&M awards too expensive. Even if I compare the M+ Saver Award chart to M&M *A chart, out of Australia M&M is not that competitive.
It’s a little bit problematic as you have your reasons to maintain SEN status, please don't blame if I come up with another suggestion: You have time to think about it, look also at
BD’s Diamond Club. As I wrote in
post # 21, if you redeem an award, you can pay in part with miles and cash (1 miles is approx 1 €cent in cash). A Biz r/t award Australia/Europe is 75K miles + GBP 510 or 150K miles + taxes. But don’t blame me if they are going out of business!

As I am not familiar, what are the perks if you reach 300K EQM in M+?
