How does the RDM and "miles" required for a redemption compare? Can you please price out a JL F award SFO-DEL with international connecting flights from Canada, with a stopover in TYO for comparison? Thank you.

If status is more important than awards, your point is valid. The 200% PQM is really useless if you don't have a PQD waiver.

I did a RTW and around the Pacific Mileage Run to requalify for MVPG75K for about $4K with repositioning flights, 27 flights in total. I earned enough RDM for 2× JL F (booked) and a CX J to CPT.

Let's compare Apples with Apples.
