Thanks for finding that thread - its title was not consistent with the previous years' titles which is why I could not find it so I just copied the format from previous years, figuring out that someone might know where to go. As I suggested in my OP I agree with merging the threads. Maybe keep my title though? No pride of ownership but just thinking ahead to 2019/2020 - perhaps consistency counts
Unlike many in this forum that start new threads, I always make mine as descriptive as possible, for easier searchability and clear non-clickbait. Also, when I started the original thread with the thread title format, it was specifically for SEs... the link provided to the other thread is for all levels.
For historical purposes, this thread follows suit with the following past threads:

The thread referenced from earlier this year is generic for all:
Qualified AQD / AQM / AQS for 2018

But I agree with yyznomad, MM is certainly motivation for continuing to credit to AC.
Heck, I'm now eyeing 2MM, even though it's still 700K away ... damn you AC for having an attractive 2MM program!

Remember, MM program is based on AQM, not AQS or AQD. To pack X number of flights into a short period of time, AQS would win, IMHO.

October 11th flight posted AQD today, so I'm now officially over the threshold.
AQM: 115,103
AQS: 39
AQD: $20,231
Probably going to finish the year around 135K, 45 AQS and $23K AQD. Then again, a large potential work trip could increase AQM and AQD significantly.
But this year I will also likely qualify for low-tier status on BA and DL.

That said 75K for life doesn't really hold as much. No IKK, still CoPay.
It is a nice perk but the jump from 50->75 is much smaller than 75->100k

but 75K is a pretty solid status - and the ability to gift not one but two other status's (one 50K [via the 2MM perk], and the other 35K [via the 75K annual choice]) means I could give both my kids a nice gift.
