But like I said earlier, I don't see too much point in pushing for this since I won't hit the new MQD requirement going forward without the co-branded credit cards. May as well start building up status with other airlines where I can easily get to top status.
For 5,000 MQMs I would do the mileage run. Early December is historically a very slow travel period with cheap flights.
