Short $39 EQD! (To merge)
Just booked my last business trip for the year yesterday. If my calculations are correct I'll be short approximately $39 EQDs to requalify for Plat. Guess I'll start looking for cheap flights out of SMF...but wanted to make sure that there isn't anything else that counts towards EQDs (other than Barclaycard).

Why not just upfare one of your existing reservations to a higher fare bucket that clears the threshold?

If you have the time to burn, a quick SMF-LAX same day turn will run you $160 in mid-november on a weekday - for regular economy. Basic Econ is $117-ish.
Puts you well above the threshold of $39 needed. But agreed that upfaring into a higher bucket is the easiest way to get this accomplished w/o an extra trip to the airport.

Just check what the price is for a 1st/Business class ticket on one of the trips booked in economy class and compare against fare paid - there is no change fee to pay to make such a change
