MQM is = BIS only if:

- You've only flown Delta or partners that earn 100% MQM all the time
- You've flown no award tickets
- You have no rollover MQM
- You've never flown any segments < 500 miles
- You have no fares that earn bonus MQM
- You don't have any bonus MQM from promotions
- You don't have any bonus MQM from credit cards
