Not possible as you describe. Delta does not match to Diamond (125k a year) and UA does not match DL Plat to 1K. No short cut...gotta get it done. I for one am glad there is no shortcut...it takes a lot of time in the seat to hit 1k every year and those who are fighting for the benefits should be on even ground..

Edit to add: You CAN buy it via Prem Accelerator.
