For 2015 I'm sitting on about 85k Rollover MQMs, 100k Credit Card MQMs, and 125k Flight MQMs for a total of 310K MQMs with about 80 segments (I usually fly direct) and $30k in spend with Delta. Only about a 1/2 Million Miler (c'mon give me a break I'm under 30)

Do I have any chance of being promoted into Delta 360? What data points are others posting for Delta 360 invites?
No, No, and not even close to what you have. Rollover miles mean nothing. If anything they're a liability to DL.

The Camry is for regular Diamonds; Slivers get a Yugo.

I thought FOs got the Trabant....or maybe a Skoda or Lada if it isn't needed for a GM.

YMMV.
Where were you hauling all of those logs? Do freight flights count for MQDs?

I'm sure different cities have different standards. Based in ATL you're flying DL for the most part unless you don't like seat assignments or connections.
I'm guessing the same, last year my MQD/MQM was $0.38 (on $60k spend) and I didn't get 360. It makes sense that hub captives would have higher thresholds.

You'll have to settle for the Dave Clark 5 on this one.

Either you have all 4 Delta cards that can earn MQMs (30K each from a personal and business Reserve card and 20K from a personal and business Plat card), or somebody gifts you MQMs from their Reserve card.

If you're looking at $30k in spend for the year, not a chance. At $50k, it's barely possible. (I wonder if the threshold is based on the airport you claim is your home, so changing that might help.)

In addition to a lot of spending, that's a lot to keep up with. And a lot of annual fees too.

If you're spending $220K, the annual fees don't look that high. (Unless, of course, you can run someone else's spending through your cards, or MS.)
