I think it's totally reasonable that there is a spend threshold. Not sure these are the right ones, but more importantly is delta.dumb going to start showing us our MQD's? Or will this require even more calls jamming up the Fake Chisholm line?
I think they're just trying to drive a few bucks of extra revenue from folks who care about the 50% bump. If the dif between M and B is $50, I know I'd think pretty hard about the extra MQMs, especially in context of SWUs. Get the M, use the SWU. Check out the B fare. If it's a bit closer, sure, pay a bit and get more MQM. I see the logic. Dunno if I agree with it.
