My rollover has cost DL plenty this year. Because of this
Medallion® Qualification Miles (year to date): 709,394
incl. Medallion® Qualification Miles (rolled over):
I will spend over $25K with AA this year precisely because I have this redicoulous rollover amount. I still fly plenty of DL but they now get about 70% of my spend and not all of it.
Flying AA is not that convenient for me but I like having the options and their intl awards totally crap on SWU's.
I have no incentive to fly 300k miles with DL so now I don't.
Flame on.
