I can qualify for elite status on AS for less than $2000, easy. DL not so much. This is brain dead easy, especially since DL means punishing me with Basic Economy on cheap fares that AS doesn’t punish me with. Apparently OP doesn’t have to deal with Basic Economy?

But hey, if you like paying extra money to DL to bribe them to treat you humanely, you do you. For a lot of NYC travel on expensive fares it might make sense.

I would probably defect to WN if I had to defect. At least they don’t think you’re scum if you buy a cheap fare.
