Re: [Confirmed] QF removing [cheap] ASAs [from web booking engine Jun 26] was 10Apri
Guys I am considering (been considering it for a while haha) doing an AA Plat Challenge via booking one of the J sale fares now on. The one I'm liking in particular is the $2013 fare to CGK.
From MEL this means mel-syd-cgk-syd-mel that is 7734 miles (
Great Circle Mapper) which at 1.5 EQP per mile (
https://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/earnMiles/travel/airlines/qantas.jsp) will get me over the 10k EQPs needed to complete the challenge.
My question now is, after completing the challenge, how many redeemable miles would I have ? Would it be 7,734 + 25% cabin bonus = 9,667 ?
And then, after I have AA Plat status, if I fly with QR one way mel-doh-cdg in J, would I be correct in saying I would earn the base miles of 10,517 plus the 100% bonus of 10,517 plus the 25% cabin bonus of 2,629 which gives a total of 23,663 redeemable miles.
So after both these trips I would have 33,330 redeemable miles.
And also (miles flown in J*1.5) 11,601 EQPs from the first trip and 15,557 (miles flown in J*1.5) EQPs from the second trip ? So 27,158 all up ?
Do EQPs earnt from completing a challenge count towards the annual total if you wish to chase EXP status ? Or do they only count for the status challenge only ?
Thanks
