Same boat. I'm set for DM for two years, and not likely to be chasing MQDs after that, but I am creeping up on 2mm and that seems worth pursuing,so I'm flying the long way jfk-yvr-cdg. Adds about 10kmqm for the same price,while it can still be earned and boosted.
First mileage run in a while, actually..

for me that's the reason to keep the Amex vanilla Plat.

Usually use CSP for cc but happy to switch for all or part of the year if it helps on. MQD.
