Somehow I’m short 1045 MQD for silver medallion. Cheapest I’ve found is a $853 one way flight to a place I already have a ticket to on another airline. What’s the cheapest way to accomplish this? I have the delta gold Amex if that’s pertinent at all.
One option is to fly AeroMexico to Mexico City from SFO. Depending on the routing (via Atlanta), you can earn the needed MQDs in full fare economy (W or Y fare class). Prices in ITA Matrix can be as low as $551. Tijauna will also get you the needed MQDs - tickets start at $531 for full fare economy. Search in ITA Matrix using options 0 nights at destination and calendar of lowest fares.
