Honest question: as hard as it is to earn status through any means, why do you care if you’re not flying much (or at all)?

Agree with this. OP may be better off with a CC that gives lounge access ? Or paying for speedy security that some of the larger airports offer

Lyft will get you Delta miles but not the MQMs you need for status

American just switched to Loyalty Points, so their status is purely based on spend if you have an American CC

If targeting American, you can get dual accrual with Hyatt so Hyatt spend counts as Loyalty Points and v.v.
