That's 775 right there. Even if one of those PM years was due to a status match, you're still at 700k.
I was under the impression that partner MQM didn't count towards MM. Doing some research, it seems I was incorrect.

Still, I wasn't making up my balances so now I wonder how I am not closer to MM already! I just assumed it was because I was flying mostly VA flights. I've always qualified through MQM....

I moved to Australia in 2015 and my MM balance was around 600k. I was PM in 2016 and GM in 2017, and 32k MQM so far in 2018... yet my MM balance is only 660k now. If partner MQM count, can anyone explain this?

I have a couple partner flights that haven't posted, will watch my MM for updates.
