How do you all maintain your status on Delta? I fly every week NYC->ATL (~1500 miles round trip) and even if I continue this for the rest of the year, I will barely make Platinum cont

Status challenges. My centurion card gives it as a perk

You gotta do some Alt Travel. International travel and first class purchased seats help a ton! Also, after a few years of rollover miles, you pretty much can stay at those high levels

Some firms pay full fare refundable business, you get status a lot faster that way

Long distance. Was traveling to Cali from east coast weekly (non direct 😔) and made diamond. Flip side a precious year was traveling weekly to Indiana and scraped by to Gold. Also Atlanta is a hub, meaning perhaps a majority are going through* not to* ATL, and those segments add up

Yet it seems like every single person on my flight has platinum. Am I missing something?

Platinum challenge?

Platinum challenge is how I got status last year. So I don’t think I can do it again

AA offered me a platinum challenge in January. I made it on 1 business trip to Europe. Delta does the same. They also do targeted offers toward year end

NYC>ATL is a short flight - one roundtrip flight out to the West Coast is several times that as an example, hence why it takes you so long to get status

Top status peeps have usually some international business class segments in the mix

Reserve card spend

Get the credit card. Spend can help you bump miles if you have the mqm’s
