that was how I held GM for about five years, and hit PM with the late-2010 promotions ... starting in Jan 2011 the corporate travel policy changed, and ALL travel had to be booked thru the contract travel agency and billed direct to the corporate UATP card ... the agents were reasonably good about adding a note to the record to justify why I was taking DL flights that were anywhere from $30 to in some cases $120 over the lowest available fare (typically US in the markets I was flying), but it was goodbye to MRs in conjunction with business travel
