I just looked at the email and it says I have 723,484 for conversion.
If anyone (including me), thinks they have ANY clue how much they will be flying 5 Years+ from now, they are full of it... Things change.. So what are people's thought processes? I am inclined to just use it all for extension. I am not hurting for RDMs with 1MM +, and they will probably continue to be devalued anyway. I have a stash of Chase miles (over 1MM) that I have available and would like to use some of those, but I have been tethered to the Delta treadmill. Or should I just use them (extend DM) maybe until 5 years out because things will inevitably change again anyway with DLs program? I live in ATL, so obviously will fly DL the majority of time anyway, at least domestically. I have both the Reserve and the Business Reserve which I am now inclined to keep both for the companion certs., Skyclub credits, upgrade priority, 15% redemption discount, Uber $. and hotel credit once I figure out how to redeem.
Anyone else in a similar situation?
I would use 100% of that (i.e. 700K) for status extension. Who knows what the DM MQD requirement will be 2031?
Every year of extension beyond 1 effectively reduces the risk/increases the efficiency of the rollover.
