Taking the credit card usage to the extreme-

Under the old system, with no flying, You would need to spend $800 in annual fees, and put $170k on a Delta Plat and Reserve combined to get Platinum Status and Unlimited Skyclub visits

Under the new system, $1050 in annual fees and $75k on the Reserve... gets you the same thing, plus an extra companion pass.

How do you figure? isn't it just 12,500 MQDs ? (5,000 MQDs - DL Plat/Res boost and 7,500 MQDs with Reserve spend)
