Delta flyers. I’m platinum next year and have $2,200 in MQDs for the rest of the year to reach diamond status. Is it worth it to take a trip to reach the diamond MQD threshold, or is platinum to diamond not materially different? Thanks in advance!

Probably a notable difference in service next year given the programs changes put in effect this year (for next). Depending on where you’re based, a round trip Aeromexico flight with a connection in J could get you over the hump with ~1k spend.

How much travel will you do next year?

Fair and we all know how nothing ever goes according to plan.

Any chance-do you have the delta Amex platinum card? It comes with free mqd ($2500 ) if I recall correctly. Pay $325 af, get the mqd needed & call it a day?

I would go for it since there is no more rollover
