the experience is is worth the time and I know we could never find out but I’d love to find out how much DL makes per year off these offers. We all complain about ancillary fees but this has to be the creme de la creme of fees....
Exactly.

I flew LAX-PVG-SGN in I and J and earned: 13,132 MQM, 3,275 MQD each way for a RT ticket that cost $2032 on MU. So I paid $0.077 per MQM. Anyone who would take DL up on their buy up offer has far more money than time.
