Question: how many eqms for first class?
Answer: Gold and Platinum members will earn four 500-mile upgrades for every 12,500 EQMs earned. You can use one upgrade for every 500 miles flown, and it's always rounded up to the next 500 miles. For example, if your flight is 1,220 miles, you'd need to use three 500-mile upgrades to get into first class.
