delta mqms : if I want platinum next year easily and I have 37k points now and over 6000 mqd, is it better to stop flying delta once I hit 49k miles so I get 24k rollover miles; platinum or bust here

I’m platinum this year but had a slow year so I’d still have I through end of May; by June if I had 24 mqm I’d at least be at gold if not platinum

You would need the MQDs too. Not worth the risk IMHO

To clarify, I mean in 2019 you would need to MQDs to keep Gold

MQD not an issue

Yes. I did that last year to this year to help me hit diamond and I think I should just barely make it with about 22k rollover miles. You'll have lower status for a bit next year but I'm willing to make that tradeoff

When you look at all these stupid ideas trying ICO, it definitely feels like dot com bubble 2 is approaching. I still think a bulk of investment is going to more legit ideas, but a lot of alt coins are gaining higher valuations. When do you think we will hit the burst? End of 2018?
