Needs $600 to make Delta diamond status this year (MQD $15k requirement). What’s the best way to reach this status w/out breaking my personal bank? Don’t have any more business trips for rest of year

Carryover from last year - was close to Diamond status last year as well and decided not to chase it. @D1 - I don’t make the big bucks like the Deloitte principals do!

$600 is worth it, take a payday loan mr. poor. just kidding, but $600 is for sure worth it.

Sounds like you’ll have to do a segment run

Did you try calling CS?

How did you not hit the $$ but have the others? Barely hit platinum this year on MQMs but have plenty spend for Diamond.

I know you don’t need MQS/MQM... but could you try the Elevate Your Status if you don’t want to take an extra mileage run?
