I either purchase group tickets (for 10-25 people per trip) or make the purchases for smaller groups direct through Delta (or other airlines). This year's spend has already been over $70k. I always either log into my account before making purchases for others, or I add my loyalty number to the group purchase in hope that they will see that. Any other tips?
It is rather opaque. There are of course companies that have large corporate contracts with Delta. My guess is Delta looks at those individuals for 360 when taking into account corporate control in the selection process. Do you have a SkyMiles for Business (previously Sky Bonus) account that you manage for your company? For corporate spend to influence your own 360 status, I believe the corporate spend on that account has to be very substantial. Again, all guesses as they don't make this clear.
