Are you saying your toddler is more important than status?! Clearly misaligned priorities.

Mileage run! One coast to coast flight would get you there. Also just burn your United silver status!

Yeah... I have a toddler, I can’t just do a mileage run...

Do the mileage run with your toddler. Nothing says fun like a x-country round-trip with a 3-year old 😂

I’m EP on AA, Diamond on DL, and have already earned half of the miles for Diamond next year...it’s only September. FML

Two options.

1. Buy a first class ticket instead of your normal ticket once or twice and you will get the miles you need
2. If you already have a delta amex....upgrade your card to the platinum or reserve card. They will credit your earlier spending on your other amex towards the total you need to get the 10 or 15k mqms (x2 if you have spent enough)

Delta offers you a very good deal (#sarcasm) to pay a huge fee to buy the miles.
Also we are in an industry that it is not really predictable. I thought I am short of 2000 miles for Delta and got pulled into an RFP in NYC... Flying coast to coast for 14 hours!!
