Hey guys,

I hope all is well.

Just wanted to ask, what is the best and quickest way to earn 12,500 MQNs with Delta? I recently applied for a status match with Delta (I am a BA Executive Club Silver) and was matched to Gold Medallion for 3 months. In addition, to keep the status until 31 Januaury 2024, I will need to earn 12,500 MQMs. I am based in the UK and was wondering what is the quickest way to earn this? Also, is the MQD a requirement for US based member only?

Part of the reason why I applied for a status match challenge is because I have ITA Volare Premium which I understand isn't fully recognised by Delta and I have a couple of flights with them this year and my Flying Blue Silver won't get me into lounges- I am due to qualify as Gold after my flight with KLM in a few weeks time.

Thanks in advance guys!
