What's your EQM to EQP ratio for 2012?
Because of the great double and/or triple bonus early and late, I'm guessing there are some huge differences this year. I know that there will be some changes as double miles are calculated. You can always edit later. I'm taking an end of year trip, so I wanted to do this before I forget. And, if I've managed to duplicate a thread someone has already started, I'm sorry. The mods can combine or close this. I really did search. 
For me, it's about 4:1
YTD Elite Qualifying Miles 117,646
YTD Elite Qualifying Points 29,423
with one flight to go, tomorrow.

mine is 1.5 points per qualifying mile since all flights credited to AA have been in business or 1st class

Other than individual posts bragging how cheap-o/smart or $$$ spender one is...wouldn't it be interesting to have a poll with certain ranges?
Oh wait, is it EQM/EQP? or EQP/EQM?
I am at 114,308EQM and 82,767EQP (1.4 EQM :1 EQP)

EQM 96,930
EQP 100,400
Ratio is 0.965 thanks to 2 full-fare (Y) trips to Southeast Asia. It always drives me nuts that a J ticket would cost less. Got to love corporate travel policies

This happens to me occasionally. I just call the airline directly and change to the Y-up fare and have them refund the difference. Being a full-fare Y, there is no change fee to deal with.

I've tried, but AA won't touch the reservation because it's booked through a travel agency. On the plus side, upgrades are only 15,000 miles without a co-pay.

Also, it sometimes takes 1-2 days after booking through the agency before it is shown as ticketed in the AA system, and that is when AA can touch it and modify the reservation.
