Make a bunch of $5.00 purchases - each purchase rounds up to 1 MQD. Factor in the 2500 MQD Head Start and thus needing needing 25,500 MQDs to hit DM, you could make $127,750 worth of purchases $5 at a time on a Reserve to get the MQDs for DM.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner at Taco Bell for the year would take care of almost 3% of that
