What has this come to that people are trying to spend MORE per mile. This is crazy.
I'm with Stranger: get more AQD by taking more trips spending LESS per mile.

Of course. But let's not be pedantic, true goal is renewing status.

Funny thing is, I ended up more on the other side of this. I don't particularly want to travel more, but I want to renew status. So I have been buying P fares lately, without caring too much about prices. Within reason that is, ad I was not too far from the $20k goal anyway.

That Aeroplan miles are looking like they are worth less by the day also helps I guess.

My challenge now is I've got 81K in miles this year, and 14K in AQD. I need to see how I can up my AQD per mile on future bookings to reach SE for 2018.
Glad we were able to help. My calculator is actually available on FT (here), so feel free to use that to help you plan out your stuff and double-check AC's calculations.

As for increasing AQD/mile, it's not hard. Buy higher fares :)

Although as others have suggested, simply travelling more would probably be the preferred solution of most FTers ;)
