- $1,400 EQDs and 10,500 Elite Qualifying Miles (EQMs)

Our Verdict
If you received the Platinum status offer you can extend your status through 2020 by earning 12,500 Elite Qualifying Miles (EQMs) and $1,500 Elite Qualifying Dollars (EQDs). Not 100% sure what the status extension offer is for those who receive the gold status.
