I’m going to hit the points but not the spend for delta diamond. Anything that can be done? Anyone ever asked for an extension? I’m off for the credit card spend as well ($250k minimum).

No extensions, you’re out of luck.

As someone who used to be the biggest Delta fanboy, I have to ask as someone did for me a couple years ago - Why are you so fixated on Delta?

The level of services and the prices they are gouging from everyone these days makes them not that much better (if even) than their competitors. I’ve been following the 10x Travel strategy ever since I was also asked this back then and have flown in so many luxury seats + stayed in the best hotels/resorts since for free or at crazy discounted prices.

I still use my Delta Reserve because it’s one of my oldest cards and so can’t close it but all the Delta branded cards are noob traps and pretty lame. Once you unchain yourself and utilize every airline to their fullest, travel gets super fun.

What is the 10x travel strategy??

Only thing that can be done is to spend more unfortunately

I've never understood how people spend 250k. I know someone who does and the only hack is having multiple users under your card. They have 6 I think and one of them uses it for business purchases

International business class travel does it the quickest

It’s hard to get to get to Diamond.

Unlikely that you’ll hit the MQD via card spend. More likely it will have to come from a company or client paying full rate on Business Class ticket prices.
