Delta Medallion requirements. The dollar spend requirement can be reached by spending the number of $$$ (MQD) required by the Medallion status you are trying to achieve OR by credit card spending on a Delta Amex credit card (i.e. the waiver.) The credit card spend to reach Silver, Gold and Platinum is $25,000 while Diamond is $250,000.
Canuck_traveler thank you for the insight...I guess the best way to get diamond, once I accomplish platinum...I guess need to cross my fingers and hope I can get get it by flying somehow.
Im ready to fly any day....is there any good mileage runs that you have seen for DL or the partners? Domestically and internationally with a quick turnaround? Just as khanmin said it is easier to possibly get upgraded with current status here too. So any deals from IAD or possibly find cheap flights to JFK, ATL, DTW etc, and repositioning to do any of these flights. But need to make sure the flights out of IAD are reasonable too, just to reposition...so it gets complicated.
Do you or anyone have any sales/ last minute in states with DL even Hawaii or Alaska...flying out literally as soon as tomorrow with open seats and for a good deal. Don’t mind just touching down and spending time in lounges then on to next flight etc. would be nice, as she states to be able to try for free upgrades, with current elite status.
though in my case, I can do coach, premium or business....as long as business gives me the double miles for 1 flight vs 2 coach flight as she mentioned. And I can do the DL partners that give full point or more please.
Ps. The VA deals you mentioned before were gone that same night I looked on them.
Let me know please, literally waiting patiently 🙇🏻.♀️ To just get some flights and MQMs on my notches to get 50+ miles out of the way....literally tomorrow! Then finger crossed 🤞🏻 try for diamond the rest of the year with some kind of miracle sale flights.
Please feel free to let me know any thoughts here, or I don’t know if we can message each other here on the site? Thank you and waiting to see if you or anyone can make me the world travel...in the next few days, and I can give you guys all the feedbacks! Thanks very much!
