At two cents per MQM, DM would then be worth $2,250 per year, which one can get pretty easily from choice benefits alone: 4 GUCs used on TATL/TPAC flights, SC membership, a couple $200 vouchers, etc. YMMV.
Agreed -my math may be wrong but I suggest at 125,000 MQM for DM and 15,000$ then rough math says at 10 cents per MQM is 12500 $ which is not enough for DM. But 12 cents per MQM gets you there. So I estimate an MQM is worth 12 cents. As I confess you can argue that my reasoning is not sound - or indeed my math.
