Required Metal or Codeshares okay*: codeshares okay

I'm am trying to reclaim my status as a Delta Platinum Medallion Member. I'm willing to go practically anywhere that will get me the miles and MQD I need. I have been playing with IAD to JNB from 11/27 to 12/2 with Virgin Atlantic (also KLM and Air France). However, the economy rate is only giving me 5% qualifying dollars. I've gone PIT to PEK for a long weekend twice in the past few years and was hoping to go someplace new. I was especially excited to cross the equator and touch a new continent, which is why I was working on JNB. I have to complete this by January 6th.

Thank you for any suggestions.

Why January 6th? Are you SURE? DL qualifying year is normally the calendar year.
