Thank you, I work hard at accomplishing that.

2014 I flew 60 segments, 82707 BIS MQM and MQD's were $6121 for an average of .074 cpMQD. There were 2 last minute business trips and a very overpriced AZ fare to avoid an Italian ATC strike that added over $1000 MQD and .01 cpm to my average.

I'll be doing between 60 and 75K BIS MQM this year and hope to keep it under .06 cpMQD and thank you AMEX Waiver.

As an aside, note the UG % as well.

I realize that we get screwed on BIS RDM's but my wife and I (she's also a PM) each get 90K+ from our DL Reserve cards, which combined with our measly allotment from BIS and a little carryover gives us each enough for a TATL J every year. We have no trouble finding Low since we book early. We have JFK-MAD-CDG-JFK booked late Aug through mid-Sept at 125K each in J.
