No it just doesn't make sense. In 2009/2010 you could have earned 700K+ RDM's for $9K spend. After various devaluations thats at least equivalent to 1 million miles in todays currency. For $9K spend now you would earn about 100K miles. Which will get you less than 1 roundtrip in business class. Stay home invest the money and look out for a cheap business class flight when it's safe to travel again.
