Only need 546 miles for an upgrade in delta status. Any recommendations? Don’t really have time to take a flight somewhere.

Call them and see if they are willing to give you the status directly

What status can you get? In some cases it’s honestly not really worth it and you may be better off keeping rollover miles for next year.

^^^ this... sorry should have asked. Platinum, I'd go get it, silver or gold I'd let it ride.

Check out “elevate your status” - could be worth it?

Shopping? Car rentals? Dining? Whatever other promotions they have

These are MQMs, only achievable through flying or spending $25k on the platinum card. Would try to call them first, or book a quick out and back to a regional airport nearby since the minimum earn per leg is 500... i.e. CHI to like Grand Rapids and back ha

Use google flights to find a cheap flight if you want to do a mileage run. As others have said, make sure the status is worth it. I’ve done a mileage run to hit Diamond.

Any round trip flight will cover this. Find the cheapest and shortest flight you can find on Sunday, go have lunch in some random airport, and come home.

As C1 said there should be a paid offer to reach status. I’m considering as I am well over for miles but not for mqds. So annoying- I did the travel just not expensively enough ugh.
