Delta flyers ~ are there any shortcuts in getting MQDs? 1.5K away from Platnium and just got staffed on a local project

Spend $25k on a delta credit card. At this point in the year, probably can't hit that without some serious manufacturing spending, though.

Weird. I have the opposite problem- enough MQD's for platinum but only enough MQM/MQS for gold :(

Hope you go to a training before the end of the year or the project requires a bit of travel?

Honestly though, just book a vacation to South America. Most round trip flights are around $1500

Make a personal trip buy a cheap but long flight. It's worth it.

Sign up for flight deal and/or use Google Flights to find a cheap mileage run

Guys, the issue is MQD not MQM. Cheap is the opposite of what they need.

Outside of credit card spend, I think the only way is to book an expensive flight. Book a business flight. Turn it into some PTO if you can.

Delta platinum card gave me 10k miles and 10k mqm's for signing up. Not sure they still have that offer. Card cost a little under $200.

Oops, just realized issue was mqd. Ya, you'd need to hit $25k for mqd's to not matter

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
