Would you pay $500-$700 to retain Delta Platinum status? I have sufficient MQMs rollover this year, but really doubt I’ll have the spend with the new requirements.

I can pay my rent on my delta Amex and pay a 3% fee (about $700 over the year worst case scenario, but don’t expect I’d need to put all my rent for the year on the Amex), to get the MQD waiver for the year.

Currently Diamond and would pay it without thinking twice for Diamond. Not sure about plat. Thoughts?

Yes as some one that lost their status this year. I would pay that for platinum in a heartbeat.

The 4 regional first upgrade certs could be worth it. Instant comfort at booking gets you free drinks I guess. That said, I’m currently platinum and it is pretty underwhelming. Rarely get first class upgrades anymore even on odd schedule/route flights.

True

Not missing anything this year after the multi-year roll overs during the pandemic. For status through next year…probably worth it. The new mqd requirements will thin the heard a bit

We’re moving to LA next month and looking to buy our first home in about 18 months. We’re planning to do 10% down on a $1.8M -$2M home. Would it be smart to do a multi-unit so we can rent at least half of it? We’d live in at least a 2 bedroom unit. We’re new to the LA market, but I think there will always be a market for renters. Would it be better to use the money to buy a single family house with more rooms and Airbnb out the guest room? Any thoughts?

How can I get more in there to bridge that 37k gap? Or can I?

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.
