My partner was E35 this year but flew mostly on points. She has been offered to buy up to 25. As we usually fly together the one advantage I see is improved waitlist status when trying to use eups which we tend to do fairly regularly, and I have to refuse when I am the only one offered the upgrade.

Got an offer today to buy up to E35K. The email said they were using data from Dec 9. Ironic since I passed 50K this morning, When I tried to view the offer, the website said the offer had already expired....even though I got the email 4 hours ago

Might have been willing to pay $500 or less, but this seems to be just too much as 2019 flying will be much less than earlier years.

Offered buy up to E50K for $1099. I think it's insane - you can buy a lot of lounge access for that cash.

My offer also arrived today -
I have 330001 AQM
6118.99 AQD
the offer is $479 plus tax - Seems a little steep considering my AQDs
I wont be travelling enough next year to justify it and if I do I`ll be buying J seats anyway...

obnoxious E50K offer
I am E35K this year, with 49 AQS and $8100 AQD. My step-up offer was $779. Pretty insulting, considering my missing segment is due to IRROPS re-routing with one segment fewer.

I am now emboldened by Norsuperior's reported offer of E35K at 27,500 AQM, 17 AQS and $4300AQD. By year end, I should have very similar numbers with higher AQD. Not to say I would be prepared to pay $779 for E35k if offered, but I would think about it if offered.

25k
recieved an offer to level up to p25 for $499. Trying to figure out if this is worth it or not. May check a bag for 4 round trip flights in a year. Will probably be close to 35k next year. Any thoughts?
