Inflight purchases didn't count for me. Just bumped up your fare class

Same issue, I doubt in-flight purchases count toward MQD... Try to change fare class

What if you buy drinks using a delta card?

That is so dumb! I always spend enough to be diamond but only fly enough miles to get gold. 🙄 so fucked.

Buy wifi?

No. MQD is only earned on flights (think ticket, paid upgrade, fares) and you can use any credit card to pay. Spend on Delta card doesn't count to MQD at all

Last year I was $50 short and I wish I could just pay Delta so trust me, I did my research

I finally paid to upgrade fare class like someone here suggested. Would have been cheaper to fly randomly on the weekend but I just did not want to lose the day. Delta did screw things up for me while upgrading fare class - I lost my existing business class upgrade in the process!

I also realized later that I was only $45 short, not $96!!!!!

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
