Began flying to Korea at least once every other month for a long term project. Is Delta reserve card worth the $$ if I’m looking to minimize my path to becoming a million miler?

Having the reserve card increases your upgrade list position - but you’ll have to spend $30K to get the 15K MQMs. To me those MQMs make more of a difference for maintaining status then for getting to million miler. 

like

I mean, every MQM helps, but that limit on 15K a year isn’t going to accelerate progress as much as you’d like. You do get Sky Club access, so that will be useful if you’re not flying international business class. 

Million Miler is not something worth planning for. If you travel enough, you will get there with or without Delta Reserve.

like

Million mile status is only based on actual flown miles. It is not based on MQMs or any credit card bonus. An example: ATL to DFW earns me roughly 3k Skymiles (depending on price of ticket), 1K MQMs, and only 700ish miles towards million mile status.

like

echoing that it is based on MQMs. I hit it last year, and it definitely refers to MQMs, not miles flown.

What firm OP?

Plenty of decent credit cards out there worth using for travel purposes. Delta Reserve isn’t even top 10.

Do y’all do 15 year or 30 year for your portfolios?

Have a duplex in a major market (looking to refi out of FHA), and eyeing other opportunities now. I don’t “need” cash flow, so should I try to just build equity?
