AQD for Flex 6-credit Florida Flight Pass

So - virgin flight pass buyer here .... I'm hoping to get my E35K status back for next year .... can somebody help me with this calculation:

Florida Plus - Flex : $2190.00 (without GST) / 6 credits = $365.00 per credit.

So, I booked the following: YOW - YYZ - PVR - YYZ - YOW.
Taxes and fees breakdown:
24DEC18YOW AC X/YTO AC PVR260.43AC X/YTO ACYOW260.43CAD520.86 END ROE1.00 XT31.00SQ36.60UK57.60XD54.00YQ
TOTAL: $209.14 ... but the YQ should be mine so $155.14

Does this mean: ($365 * 2) - $155.14 = $574.86.

See the problem is this: Current AQD is $3,395.62 + $574.86 = $3970.48 < $4k lol

Somebody please tell me I have this calculation wrong

And if I am short - does somebody have a creative idea of how to get $29.52 in AQD? lol

Except for the trip above, my remaining flights this year are on Copa, which will not generate any AQD

I’m probably wrong but I thought flight pass AQD was equal to the value of the credit without deduction for fees.

Yeah, looks like I was thinking about unlimited passes.

For eligible limited-credit Flight Pass purchases, you will be credited based on the value of each individual flight segment for the base fare and the carrier-imposed surcharges.

It is hard to definitively determine how they calculate this. I believe that they take the price of the coupon, subtract the taxes and fees, then prorate the remaining amount by the miles flown, per section, on the coupon.

The easiest way to earn $30 AQD is to take any flight anywhere

It may be the easiest way, but I was asking for a creative way

I guess I should be happy that I have gotten so many good deals on paid J this year - but it's just SO close to $4k that's it's annoying!
