I'm ok with Delta implementing a spend requirement. But, to punish Skymiles members for paying taxes (as if we had a choice) is borderline retarded.

$4k in taxes on $17k of spend isn't possible.

The YQ which is a pure cash grab by the carriers and not providing MQD or miles (next year) for this is something people should be up in arms about not being credited for. That's BS.

(please note, I do understand the YQ is eligible for MQD, that wasn't tongue in cheek enough).
