Ah I think I get it, “per the points guy”, as in “from the points guy”. I’m dumb

Delta points are worth 1.1cpm per tpg

The trick is to have the delta credit card and use pay with miles option. You get full MQMs but low cash rewards and this ticket would cost you 90,000-110,000 in points that way.

like

No. I would do 70k for ~$1000 ticket.

Cent per mile per tpg? What’s that mean?

Per tpg- based on the points guy insights

Yeah, but the hell is a tpg?

Buy the ticket and earn the MQMs...

2. How do you collect it? Venmo? Credit card?
3. Do you have to register your business?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.
