As far as flying much… it’s hard to say. With only a couple seats available, every person matters.
Wow...with that many people doing that much spend on a CC, you would think the company would prefer direct billing or at least its own corporate card. I always thought the typical use case for the erstwhile DM MQD waiver was small business owners who run all their expenses on the card.

I do think closing this loophole last year was good. There are a lot of MMs out there.
