Feels like some international biz class is a must to get into the miles/spend range you need
380K MQMs 97K spend 😩
M1 that is disgusting.
About $65K for CK. Had ~10 US to Europe or return legs on American metal.
About 40k on UA, multiple round business fares fully changeable
You guys are at a whole diff level
Curious as well. Last year I had probably 120k miles, 120 segments, $30k spend and didn't get CK; this year I'm hoping a slightly different flight mixture (including a couple international business flights) will get me there (100k miles, 60 segments, $18k spend YTD).
DD1 I've heard the minimum is 60K spend for delta, nothing lower. The year I got it I had 15 round trip business class flights
Yeah I thought it was >$45k on AA but someone else on FB apparently got it with $20k-ish spend last year so there must be other factors
20K spend doesn't even sound as if you would hit diamond on Delta. I still haven't figured it out exactly, tracking at 301K and 56K spend YTD and haven't gotten invited back
Yeah... consistent short-distance weekly travel can get you to EP/1K/Diamond but international biz is a huge boost in miles/spend (this is the earliest in the year I've requalified for EP)
Most PPDs and execs get invited too right?
My speculation is that It depends on two things - both likely equally important. The overall $ spent in a year AND the overall $/mile spent. If you're spending around $50K a year with a $/mile of 50 cents or greater, you're probably invited
Wow I travel every week and never even log in to check points or status.
@DD2 travel is pretty important to me when I'm in an international LDR and being paid under market rate (as consulting firms tend to do with creatives) so I try to maximize what I can get out of it :-)
I think qualification requirements are also different depending on whether you live in a hub city (i.e., CK qualification requirements are higher if you live in DFW)
~$45k spend on United, all domestic. ~150k PQM, you can do it domestic.
Hemorrhoids and watching lots of terribly produced safety videos.
Currently at 40k PQD and 120k PQM, hoping to reach by year end...
