Hold up. Time out. Didn't fly from March '20 to June '21 and I wasn't originally planning to fly much this year but the travel itch hit me. This morning is the first time I read this thread and there's a lot of info, and I just read up on DL.com.
So If I'm understanding this correctly;
- ALL miles are rolling over (on track for ~70,000 for CY '21)
- MQM accelerators only apply for DL metal. (so that upcoming MUC trip some of you helped me rebook on AF metal won't get the bonus)
If both of those are affirmative; then if I'm planning at least another ~70,000 miles through the fall of '22, it would behoove me to stay on DL metal for those TATL flights to then have ~140,000 MQMs to go for DM for '22/'23?
That seems like an exploit or is DL banking on the colossal drop in international travel to prevent a glut of PM/DMs?
