$29,501
104,220
42

Done for the year but have an AY flight that didn't credit. So should be over $30k and 105k EQM at 43 segments.

Thanks, although I will have to give a lot of credit to Airpass. My trips are rarely planned in advance, so paying a modest fare on a last-minute booking rather than a crazy-high standard last-minute fare means I travel more often than I otherwise might. That said, I only spent 120 nights in hotels this year so the flight distances may have been long, but the trips were not.

I should not have any more travel this year.

I hope they sent you a Concierge Key invite!

Done! But, first flight this year was on April 1st....wonder if I had another quarter would have gotten to CK? I'll never know....

After 21 yrs of plat, finally made exp in 2018. Made exp again for 2019 w $14,998 EQD, 106,258 eqm and 19 segs
Another rt this week, but on WN
Been to some great places along the way in ‘17 & ‘18, MLE 2x, DOH, HAN, CMB, LYR, TOS

48k more to 3 mm.

Had to laugh, when I was 248 EQM short of plat pro, got an offer to buy up for only $795.

Obviously nothing compared to most on here but snuck in with a gold challenge at the end of the year ...

Probably going to be a sad year next year of ~4-5 SEA-SIN trips on the lowest possible Y-fares (per employer policy) -- tons of miles, not enough $$$ ...

CMK10 Dec 18, 2018 8:01 am

EQD: 11,519
EQM: 92,029
EQS: 97

Left:
- ATL-CLT-RDU
- RDU-DCA
- RDU-LGA
- JFK-HEL-SIN-HEL in Paid Business

In the old days I'd have been a double EXP :D

EXP and after one year, I will give it up. AA has some serious work to do if it wants to keep 100k flyers.

EQDs almost matches last year, but my EQMs reached 151000 last year. But good enough for now.

I know this is off topic to this thread, however, this is, by far, the highest # of banked 500-mile stickers I've seen. Previous highest was like 85 in one of those threads about not being able to use the stickers.

End of year Roll Call

A last-minute trip to Key West pushed me over the finish line. I really need a job the pays for this habit.

cova Dec 18, 2018 8:48 pm

Year end:

EQD - $16K
EQM - 138,400
EQS - 70

Includes CC boost of $6K and 20K EQM

Planning to drop to earning Plat in 2019 with $3K spend and 30K EQM + CC boost of $3K and 20K EQM..
For 2020> - just go back to UA and stop worrying about qual's with LT 1K. And just earn AA Plat for few times I need to fly a nonstop on AA.

Sad but this year I am not going to make Gold. But really not all that concerned, now that I cannot get half price discount on Main Cabin Extra seating when I book, it is not that big a loss. I don't pay for my checked bag (work) and I don't put a bag in the overhead bin so I'm not in a hurry to board.

If Gold status would have kept the privilege to purchase MCE at booking I would have done a mileage/cash run to keep the status but without any discernible advantages why bother?
