Higher EQM and EQS (EQS in particular) on the same/similar spend ≠ more profitable and that's what CK via spend is actually based on. So trying to compare that way *might* work in some limited cases, but very rarely.

Thank you my friend!

I appreciate the good vibes. I thought I was a goner... I better try to push up the travel this year, or just give it up all together... I can't stand this borderline limbo!

All the best

Guess I will book through January on AA. Worst case I should have the EQD done for the year.
I sometimes wonder if my blind loyalty, and exclusive AA travel, diluted my stats. I had some expensive overseas trips, mixed with a bunch of cheap economy domestic connecting flights. In the end, it worked out. I hope it does for you too!

Received my CK welcome package today. Was a much smaller box than usual so I immediately thought that it would be crappy this year or I would get the same thing again as I got the last 2 yrs. However I was pleasantly surprised! In it was a metal luggage tag made from the metal of a since retired MD-80. Each tag is one of a kind and it comes with a placard that tells you info about the plane it was made from (tail number, miles flown, # of countries visited, dates built and retired, etc.). Now this is really cool, I love it!

Great job on this one AA!

I got mine today too! It’s from N479AA. Was bummed that I won’t be getting a carbon fiber one from UA this year but this more than makes up for it.

Thanks AA!

Anyone know how the package is mailed? Is it just regular USPS?
Also, for anyone wondering, the package came via USPS from an AA address in Illinois.

Actually, these are my own pictures I took myself. You posted different pictures on twitter.

Ack, you are totally right. My sincere apologies -- I took too quick of a glance and the lighting was similar enough. (And they're from the same plane...)

Congrats on CK!
