I am trying to estimate how many more airfare dollars i need to spend in order to re-qualify for my A-List Preferred. Only fare is used in calculation (excludes taxes etc). Is there a rule of thumb to use? I will fly business select to make up the needed points. thanks. JE

It's gong to vary based on several things
1) nonstop vs connection - connections will have more taxes as they involve multiple PFCs
2) Some taxes are a fixed amount. Thus they will be a higher % of total cost on "cheap" fares.
3) Some airports have higher fees than others
To give you a swag on more expensive fares (BS / anytime), points earning fare will be somewhere around 90% of total cost.
Good luck in getting there again.
edit add: I just realized that it's easy to determine how many dollars you need to spend on airfare.
If you are flying BS, divide the number of RR points you are short by 12. The resultant number is the number of dollars you need to spend on airfare.
BS earns 12 points per $.
