The convenience fees suck, but I think the MQMs and bonus miles at $30K and $60K more than make up for them.
If they were offering double miles for April 15th payment, it would be a better deal. But the way I described above gives you the same benefit towards the MQMs and bonus miles, but nets you more miles along the way. The 100% bonus miles for purchasing miles from DL is a limited time offer.


...assuming you are able to pay your taxes using cash.
