How do you calculate the 160,000 SkyPesos? Earning is revenue based now. Even if OP spends $20,000 in annual, that's an additional 40,000 SkyPesos between PM and DM. Distance flown has no impact on that.

It also keeps me flying DL once I've hit one status level but know I won't hit another (I get the AmEx waiver so MQD not a factor for me at the moment). This year I've easily hit PM and will finish the year around 105,000-110,000 MQMs. Probably won't hit DM. But still doing more than enough flying after PM that I could get low-level status on another airline (AA or AS). But with rollover, I choose to fly DL because it puts me well on the path for next year.
