They will let you buy during December. Is almost always better to fly then buy.

Delta usually does sell MQMs but it’s like $2k if you’re off by 10k. Might be cheaper to do a mileage run but obviously that costs you time too.

Alternatively do you already have a Delta reserve card? If not you can get that and they give 10k MQMs after $3k of spend which you might be able to get from your normal travel expenses (although you don’t have much time). But that card obviously has a fairly high fee too.

The offer they give me this year starts at 1000MQM for $2,399. Totally not worth it. Their algorithm is broken and we should send proposals lol

Yeah I know but 1000MQM is basically any 2 segments

I think it could be worth it if you value what you get from buying up. For example I’d get 2 SWUs and Diamond Medallion status for buying 12.5 miles for $2K. The upgrade alone is worth more than than on a trip to Africa.
