Most EQM without hitting EXP EQD requirement?
wondering who has racked up the most EQMs without getting to $15k. Just got off HKG-DFW in F (SWU’d from J) and i’m at ~124k EQM, but still shy of the EQD 😂. Seems the premium cabin mileage run deals forum has been TOO good.

After DFW-MEX in J now at 125,855 EQM and still only $14,125 EQD. I MAY be able to fly MEX-DFW-JFK (purchased Y, DFW-JFK cleared upgrade already) AND JFK-CDG-JFK (Y SWU’d both ways to J) before hitting $15k which would be 135,450 EQM, i’d be tens of dollars from the limit if still under and I suppose so close that my NCE-LGW BA Y flight would do it but that would be pretty good value i’d say!

I recall the bad old days before revenue based status on AA when I was spending $20k+ on travel annually and sitting in the back as a PLT while the premium cabin was filled with bloggers and mileage runners who got to EXP for $3k on mistake fares and mileage runs.
To answer your question, I never had the issue you cite, just the opposite - spending lots and not hitting the mileage requirement. Thankfully that’s no longer the case.

Now, if one can rationalize the declining benefits, one should go for it.

It amazes me the fares you all find. I’m barely touching 50k eqm but spent $14k to get there. My $ spend though is putting me right at the top of upgrade lists though
ill be well north of $20k-$30k by end of year and just make 100k eqm
